    A stylish, solid and pulse-pounding edge of your seat action-packed thriller. It explodes with nail-biting suspense and non-stop action from beginning to end. A great set of characters that are motivated in a strong story oriented film. It's slickly well-crafted and strongly perf... read moreormed action flick. An adrenaline-pounding thrill-machine that dose not let up for a minute. A strong and exhilarating action movie

    This straight-to-DVD sequel adrenaline-fueled adventure movie is average with the action scenes and flashing when the shocking or surprising thing happen; and the casting are so weak.

    A low budget sequel to the quite enjoyable 2001 film starring Gene Hackman. The original is head and shoulders above this. I would watch that or Black Hawk Down again instead of this. Though there are quite a lot of familiar faces in this. Catch it if it's on TV.

    Poor acting, pathetic direction, and nary a scene of excitement.

    No wonder this never hit the theaters.Was nothing like the first one and should have a different title. Quite a bit of editing problems. There is a nice under story.

    On the plus side, it has a good pace. Lots of action and is seldom dull. On the negative side, it is a stupid and far fetched story. The acting is a bit over the top, and the score is way too much. Decently edited. Overall, it just doesn?t quite work. It never rises above mediocre.

    Up there with Iron Eagle 2 as one of the worst military movie sequels ever made. So bad I never made it halfway through.

    This is creepy. It's plot mirrors the goings on in Korea right now and it's not ashamed to be making a statement about it. I admire the film in that regard, but everything else is crap. It tries too hard to be a serious drama like Thirteen Days and still have all the prerequis... read moreite action scenes too. What really bugged me about this flick is that it's shot entirely in that uber fast MTV style that really gets on my nerves. The entire thing is shot with a high shutter speed (think Gladiator's action scenes), ultra fast editing and high contrast color correction. It's like a 90 minute music video. I couldn't even tell what was going on during half of the gun battles due to this. Skip it. The original, which was bad in a good way, is far superior.

    I thought this sequel had much more entertainment value than the original, and this went directly to video lol. Enjoyed it.

Maybe the President and his cabinet should watch more movies, and perhaps they'll have a better handle on international politics. Full Review

A limp, cheesy B actioner gussied up with a semi-recognizable title. Full Review

Will offer a mild diversion to the action aficionadoes, but even those who like the flick will probably erase it from their memory banks in less than a week. Full Review
