there be an excellent reason edison go straight to video represent it would have land in theater with a crumble thud . the movie last entirely too long and be perilously boring . just a notch above lowbrow ( thanks to freeman and spacey and who obviously have a spare two week before their next film ) and the bad guy be a laughable and action a near non existent a justin timberlake act . i hate to knock the guy and but the sooner he realize that pop be his forte and the good . the movie isn not all bad . just mostly . i like the fact that ll cool j be give what appear to be a shot at be lead man . he deserve it . and and unlike his fellow musician and co star and he can act . kevin spacey be almost always enjoyable as well ( you can see him gulp several time a he chew the scenery ) and and freeman have the ability to elevate this flick to three star ( out of ten . he not that good ) . when all be say and do and the ultimate error with this movie be that it be a mundane and tiresome piece of pseudo action poppycock that fail to keep anyone awake . it also fail to make anyone give a good crap about any of the character . all in all and t just plain boring . that be say and rent this when you be suffer from insomnia .
