Yesterday I was doing a search for Samuel L. Jackson movies.
I watched this film last night and found it pretty good!
While the story is pretty typical, it did manage to keep my attention and suck me in.
Plus, I didn't expect the twist at the end.
Katia Winter is just flat out beautiful and easy on the eyes.
I'm not really a Kellen Lutz fan because I flat out HATE the Twilight films but after looking at his acting profile I notice he is in many other films I do really like.
Jackson's character reminded me of his role in Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014). Not sure why?

As for Jackson's films, I was really impressed with One Eight Seven (1997).
