I love this movie so much

good back-story, and good acting

Excellent but underrated film

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

This movie is a waste. A waste of time, a waste of money and a waste of the actors involved.Chazz Palminteri has delivered a few really good performances in his career, a few excellent ones and Til Schweiger while not the greatest actor can usually do a well enough job.Not in this movie, with this script, with this dialogue.One more thing, one of the other reviewers has called this a typical Euro-Movie and that is complete nonsense.If any, it is an untypical Euro movie as it has no aspirations at all.Anyone who has any knowledge about European cinema would laugh at a classification like that.

I have yet to read a single positive review for this film anywhere, most people say it's clichéd, predictable, and stupid with a done-to-death plot, and it kinda is, but that dosen't mean it's not a hell of a lot of fun. Palinteri does a pretty good job, though he's played this type of role so many times he could do it in his sleep, and Schweiger's not much of an actor, so it's fortunate that he dosen't try and stretch himself too much here, the rest of the cast is pretty average. When it comes to action however, this film really delivers, Gerry Lively certainly lives it up to his last name, as the actions scenes are indeed lively and entertaining and they easily make up for the weak story and mostly average performances, all in all i'd say it's a 6 out of 10.

This is a movie about a bodyguard who has to protect somebody but can't do a worthwhile job of it.Like most action movies of this sort, it loses logic about 20 minutes in.The bad guys are too bad for their own good, but they look good in fancy suits and with nice weaponry.The good guys are too dumb - tough but dumb.Now, if I had to relocate a witness, I would not take them to places that would be popular or hot or known to anybody.I would throw them in back of a beat-up car, wearing rags and take them to some place that nobody would ever think of.They would listen to me or I would bust their teeth.However as in every other witness relocation/protection movie - logic is misplaced for what is supposed to be a story.The performances are bad, the story is bad and the action is also bad.However for a comedy, it's not too bad...if you want a little bit of action with your funny.With a whole bunch of useless and needless locations, scenes, action sequences and dialog as well as major plot holes - this could be one of the lost comedies that you may find interesting.The nightclub scenes are pretty interesting...walking around in ski masks in a nightclub and nobody notices.Brandishing weaponry across a dance-floor and nobody moves until gunfire is sprayed.Yep, it's the little things that can make a movie good or it's the little things that can make a movie horrible.This does the latter.

Wow. This is one of those movies that you knew what was going to happen and when even before you started to watch the movie. This movie was one long string of stereotypes that made it very predictableFoes working together even though they hate each other ... check Dying bad guy wants to redeem himself before he dies ... check Good guy has a traitorous superior ... check Dying bad guy wants to make up with wife and/or children ... check Femme fatale ... check comic sidekick ... check Bad guy redeems himself by sacrificing himself for good guy ... check All government agents are incompetent until end ... check all henchmen can not shoot straight ... check1 star for good backgrounds, 1 star for the hit-man's daughter
