The courier delivered an empty box.
Morgan's performance was still good, but the story on its own is so far-fetched and left more questions at the end than any other film.
The beginning was promising, the action was there at times and I found the torture scene so ridiculous ... first working a few fingers with a garlic press, and then the two of us start cooking a meal in the kitchen. , not realizing that the garlic-pressed person might (yes) free himself, and then simply walk into the kitchen and simply blow those 2 kitchen peeps over. Duhuh!
The Chinese girlfriend also had no role of any significance. Another nonsensical thing: when you hear the sad news that the person who actually raised her has died, the best remedy is to start playing around with the person you actually just met. Weird ! 
And it may just be me, but I didn't immediately understand the ending (had to go back a bit) and they should have left the name Mickey Rourke off the movie poster. For the most part only seen his back (if it was his at all), and then performed for 3 minutes as a completely failed-looking Elvis. By the way, that guy has become terribly ugly since 9 1 /2 weeks. It looks like his face has been completely injected with botox
Flush movie, so much in a row 
1* (total earned by Morgan)

A dismal combination of stale characters, cheap dialogue, mediocre action scenes, poor acting (Josie Ho in the lead) and predictable plot clichés. Oh yes, and clumsy tricks: if the title hero breaks into something online, the viewer might wonder who or what that is actually happening to, so Stitch conveniently says: "One day the FBI is going to discover that you are hacking into their database", which is not the case. is intended for Morgan's ears, but for those of the viewer to take him along by the hand. Escape from a police station? you just grab a paperclip and walk out. Oh, wait a minute, first quickly use the police database via an unattended PC. Jeffrey Dean Morgan is a fresh (because I haven't seen that often in this genre) main character, and the nicest thing about him is that he cries when he is tortured, but that plus is immediately negated by the absurdly simple way he escapes his bonds. And then that twist... I immediately thought of an earlier film by the actor who played the villain, back when he was still an idol. It's been a while since I saw such a bad movie.
