Watched this tonight...

As far as action movies go, it was unique in the idea a bit, but some very un-original parts.

Like Hawke stabbing a guy in the eye with an icicle...taken right out of Die Hard 2.

But overall, it was interesting, entertaining...although some parts just weren't as crisp as you'd like.

, but some very un-original parts.

Like a cop who is on his last shift before retirement, or a cop that has fallen on hard times because of a bad maneuver in the past and needs to step up to save the situation?

I just watched it.

It had a few good action sequences, but many of the maneuvers of both sides just didn’t make sense to me.
