let get one thing straight represent i like much of snipes work . unlike his other high kick contemporary ( seagal and van damme ) he can actually act . this film and however and do little to enhance his reputation while it not exactly unwatchable but i be not in any hurry to watch it again either . in fact and if i never saw it again it wouldn not bother me there be just load of good film out there to waste my on . it a pity because with a bit of imagination and and some subtle change this could have be a worthwhile film . instead the director have choose to almost try and bludgeon his audience into submission with too much over the top violence and very little characterisation . the big problem i have be with snipe co star and silvia colloca . it baffle me that the producer of this film go to all the bother of hire a stunning beautiful ( for my money anyway ) and talented actress like miss colloca and then give her such a pathetic one dimensional character to play with . if she be hire to simply add a bit of glamour to the movie she doesn not even do that very well while there no nudity in the film and also no sex scene worth mention . strange and really . give the amount of violence in this film it baffle me why the producer have take such a conservative attitude to sex and nudity . be we live in 2007 or in 1957. what the producer of this rubbish ( and probably the actor a well ) have forget be that film be mean to be fantasy . like most of the inhabitant of this planet my real life be very boring . i would love to be chase terrorist and be able to handle myself like mr snipe and hook up with a beautiful young thing like miss colloca . this film satisfy none of those fantasy very well . which be precisely why i be give it such a bad review .
