a5c7b9f00b An ex-special services veteran (Antonio Banderas), down on his luck and desperate for work, takes a joba security guard at a run-down mall in a rough area of town. On his first night on the job, he opens the doors up to a distraught and desperate young girl who has escaped and fled from a hijacking of the US Marshal motorcade that was transporting her to testifya trial witness. Hot on her heels is psychopathic hijacker (Ben Kingsley), alongside his resourceful henchmen, who will stop at nothing to extract and eliminate their witness. A security guard protects an eleven year-old girl who is being targeted by a gang for participatinga trial witness. I would like to start off with the actors who executed amazing scenes in the movies! Scenes were action packed and there were no deep loving connections to antagonist! I wouldn&#39;t bother writing a review if it wasn&#39;t good but since the ratings at pretty low, I think this deserves my review!<br/><br/>In summary, if you were looking for a movie where a war veteran is playing defend the castle with amateurs to defend it. The outcome is pretty interesting! The plot was straight forward, many of the scenes reminded me of John Wick but notbadass but still at his level, and also how everything came together in the end. Very entertaining movie! Very underrated! <br/><br/>Here&#39;s the cons of the movie, in every movie there are those moments where why didn&#39;t the main character do this or notice that. Well there of course are those in here and no movie will hide this so that&#39;s of course one star gone. Another con is, really some, not many of the action scenes were not on par of John Wick! <br/><br/>I highly recommend this if you are into action like John Wick! I can&#39;t i hate this movie, if you watch it on a Sunday TV screening. But for a theater is just nothing. The films biggest problem is the tone, the first scene is very serious and you expect a… different (better) kind of movie. Then you see the girl escaping, and finally the fake mall when everything becomes a joke, it felt really odd. Latter we have most the cast dying on shocking ways to then have a scene where the girl character is controlling a car toy with a camera. Not to mention that criminal group lead by Ben Kingsley is strange in the wrong way, are they a mafia? A cult? Or a group of super villains? I don&#39;t know.<br/><br/>I guess there are somethings to appreciate, like some of the lighting is quite interesting. The planning for defending the girl. The performances are OK i guess, Kingsley and delivers and Antonio Banderas is kind of a decent action hero, i would have hired someone different but fine.<br/><br/>Mediocre movie, not the worst one if you have nothing to watch on TV, but on a theater you felt almost kind of cheated.
