It's got Vinnie Jones in it, so I'll be watching it. But it's got two things against it:

1) Stone Cold Steve Austin gets top billing over Vinnie Jones

2) And Vinnie Jones will probably die at the very end

Didn't they do this already with Ray Liotta, Lance Henrikksen and Ernie Hudson? Except they called it "No Escape".
