Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Years after taking the blame for a rescue mission turned sour and nearly being killed himself, Michael Bishop is working as a body guard for an arms dealer and his wife. When the same assassin kills them both he is forced to investigate a possible conspiracy within the intelligence services, eventually joining forces with FBI Agent Louise Castle to get to the head of the plot.I watched this film a few nights ago when I noticed the cast – I thought I hadn't seen it before and didn't realise that I had until the final ten minutes when one scene triggered my memory. That is an indication of what I thought of this film – it is wholly unmemorable. That is not to say it is awful, merely that it isn't very good and you'll be unlikely to ever watch it again unless, like me, you forget you've ever seen it. The plot is OK but not delivered as well as one would have hoped but still passes the time without doing anything too special. It occasionally has moments of action but mostly it just putters along. Certainly anyone looking to see martial arts action on the strength of Dacascos (as I was) will be mostly let down.The twists in the plot are good but not as shocking or as dramatic as they should have been – again due to the delivery. The climax is good on paper but somehow it simply doesn't come off – perhaps the complex plot was not developed and explained as well as it needed – thus making plot twists less dramatic.On paper the cast are good but in practice they are not. Dacascos is someone I always enjoy but he is not a great actor. Here his best moments come when action is called for. Moss is interesting to watch post-Matrix, she is OK but I wonder why she wasn't credited on this film – after all she WAS credited on Lethal Tender around about the same time and it wasn't any better than this. Continuing the list of well known faces, Todd (Candyman) was a good bad guy and lifted his scenes, Graham Greene and John Neville were given little to do and did appear to be slumming it a bit (esp Neville in a horrid camp role).Overall if you are looking for a way to pass 99 minutes and aren't too bothered about forgetting as soon as you stop the tape then this is OK, otherwise you'd best leave this. On paper it all looked good but the delivery is weak and the film suffers as a result.

I enjoyed this film because I am a Mark Dacascos fan. He plays a street smart bold character/hired bodyguard who is resourceful and tough. His one fight scene in the hotel has a great cinematic angle. At first, this film may confuse the viewer because the dialogue is not simple to grasp at first yet after the 3rd time watching this film, I finally understood it. Carry Ann-Moss plays a tough single mother/FBI agent with a strong willed-killer instinct. The film has good action, humor that is dry and a emotional-chess like story line.

Well i saw this movie last week, and it didn't blow me away, but it was quite a good movie. It had a fairly good story as far as movies like this goes, and the action was kind of cool. I especially noticed the filming in the action scenes. Cool filming. Favorite part: When they get shot at the airport.If you are a Marc Dacascos fan, you better see this one. But be aware, not as much fighting in this one.

In my opinion, this film is a hidden gem. Although some may find the plot line a trifle tortuous, this is more than compensated for by the film's realistic feel and likeable cast.As the film is not effects-heavy (thanks to a lower than blockbuster budget) attention has instead been paid to creating a believable environment rather than a showy one. The film appears to have the benefit of a good military advisor - firearms & combat sequences are particularly well executed and accurately represented.Directional cues are used to good effect to allow us to follow the hero's train of thought in pivotal situations, and I was particularly pleased not to see the usual overindulgent "victim setup" sequences which tend to plague many films in this genre.Neither is this a film which plays down to the audience by stating and restating the obvious; it's refreshing to watch a film which actually credits the viewer with some degree of independent thought!Although "Sabotage" definitely inclines more towards Len Deighton than Ian Fleming, Mark Dacascos makes a very credible leading man, with his character having just enough background development to lend credibility to his actions, rather than swamping us with "flawed hero" cliches.This film was obviously never going to break any box office records, but it does show very clearly that you can still have a good film without resorting to the visual overkill of big budget effects.
