    Started out very boring, and I was truely unware of what was happening, beyond all the "Racist Jokes". This film was pretty out of luck with alot of people cause it started off way too slowly, and wasn't that interesting or involving from then on out. Not really Reccomended.

    There was absolutely no positive attribute that I can think of, except when the credits came up and I was able to confirm that the film really did just suck.
    Highly recommend to all my haters!!!

    89 minutes of excruciating, star-laden drivel.

    Those of you that are providing this film in the 60% range are much too kind. Not only are the subtitles not in tandem to the dialog, where exactly is the common sense in this movie? How about the "story?" How on Earth did all of th... read moreese stars agree to be in this film? There are so many poorly spent characters in this movies I thought it would end up a April Fool's joke at the halfway point.

    Back to comments on the errant subtitles: Yes, it is possible for this movie to be WORSE - imagine not knowing what's going on at ALL because dialog from future scenes appear in scenes several minutes beforehand.

    Ugh.

    Cuba Gooding Jr, get thee to a cinematic nunnery already. You are worth SO much more than silver screen tripe like this.

    I understood the plot after I thought about it. It makes sense after you think about it.Although the plot should have been easier to understand.The point was that their mission was not to take out the terrorist it was to keep him alive so that we would have a reason to still figh... read moret the war. However Cuba killed him instead prompting the government to kill him and his girl and cover it up somehow. Does this help anyone understand?

    This movie literally sucked balls. I couldn't follow it at all and fell asleep halfway through. There is all this talk about some big government conspiracy, yet you never find out what the conspiracy is?!?! WTF??? That was two hours of my life that I can never get back.

    I began reviewing this movie with more than 1.5 stars, but that was before it had finished. I thought the thought plot and story-line were both misleading, poorly planned and loosely executed.

    The acting was way below par for a full-length movie...the type of acting you'd expec... read moret from a commercial actor. With the exception of Cuba Gooding, Jr., the rest of the cast did poorly and I would NOT recommend seeing this movie, ever.
