Reviews
Although i watched it until the end, and actually enjoyed the action part of the movie, the story is very very flawed.
i will only get into the beginning of the movie, so hardly any spoilers here.
The movie starts with a DEA team apparently robbing a drug-lord. At first the viewer thinks it's a sanctioned operation but in the next scene it turns out to be a rogue one. OK, so fa so good.... BUT!
The team thought of a way to take away 10.000.000 Dollars from the drug money for themselves. Still, plausible. But then... Arnie blows up the stash of about 2 billion dollars....
The next scene he gets interrogated by his colleagues/ internal affairs about where the 10 million is.
Excuse me... but he blew up all the money... so how could anyone know there is 10 million missing?!?!?!?!?!?
This is what the entire movie is based on... sorry... that just does not fly! Nice action ... horrible story!
