Granted, I could only get through 12 minutes of the movie but all facets of the movie were amateurish.
The writing was trite and the dialogue was forced. There was no flow.
The acting was atrocious, in part at times even from Billy Baldwin and Michael Madsen, two "name" actors.
The sound was spotty and I kept thinking I would see the boom mic at any time.
To sum up the movie in one scene, 10 minutes in: The Homeland Security guy finds the nuclear bomb that Madsen's character has set up to detonate. The guy pulls the core out, looks inside, and says, "It's U-235." He had no geiger counter or any kind of measurement device to verify this. My best guess is that the U-235 was clearly marked with an easy-to-read label stating "Caution: U-235." I actually expected the director to cut to the label just to prove to us it was a real nuke.
Bad movie without any aspect of it worth bragging on. These people on here who say they're movie buffs and give this movie a high rating have no idea what a good movie is. It's more than content. It takes good acting, camera-work, lighting, sound-work, writing, music score and directing.
Sadly, this movie contained none of the above criteria except maybe lighting.
