A group of 30 assassins enter a competition to win $10 Million. They have 24 hours to kill each other, with the last man or woman taking home the cash.Quite a few problems with this film. To start with why the hell would the richest men in the world set a competition in Middlesborough? Surely if your coming to England you'd go to places like London, Liverpool or Birmingham. The main star of the show is Robert Caryle who plays a priest who gets mixed up in the competition. I feel Sorry for Robert as he's a much better actor then this film and maybe should have a word with his agent on what scripts he's been given. It also stars Ving Rhames, Kelly Hu and Ian Somerhadler who is awful. Ian can do good TV (Lost, Vampire Diaries) but he can't do deadly and scary assassin and comes across more annoying then anything else.
The Film is too ambitious for the budget it has been given. You can tell they are struggling with some of the bigger set-pieces, but it is admiral how well they have done with what they've got. Yes it's big, loud and you get plenty of violence and gore for your money, but the result is lots of energy with no end product.
