It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The artwork for this film made me interested. I mean here we have a picture of not just famed boxing legend Mike Tyson to look at but action star Steven Segal as well. A movie with the pair in it? Potentially facing off against one another? Sign me up! The movie arrives, I pop it in the machine and low and behold within the first 20 minutes or so the clash takes place. And...that's about it. A few minutes of the two going at it mano a mano and then we're left with the rest of the movie to deal with. And it's bad. Really bad.I went back after watching about half of the film and read some reviews others had posted elsewhere. Had I done so prior to starting the film I might never have watched it. Everything stated in those reviews ended up being dead on.The film has an extremely convoluted plot going here. It takes place in some small African country in the middle of trying to figure out which cell phone company to handle the needs of that country. Yes, it's like a movie about ATT and Verizon battling it out with as much excitement as that brings to mind. At the same time Tyson is the last member of his tribe trying to take over the country. Segal is a bar owning dealer of weapons and warriors. Both have perhaps the least amount of screen time among the main cast members. I could go into the different factions trying to this contract that comes down to a Chinese group and a French one but honestly their tech talk became so boring that I found myself just trying to stay awake and watch the movie. On top of that they use of subtitles for foreign films is nothing new to me and I normally have no problem with it. But in this case the dialogue was so fast and the subtitles so miniature that I had to literally sit a few feet from the screen just to read them. On the plus side the film is very well shot and edited. Kudos to those involved on that end. And the promised though short lived fight between Tyson and Segal was fun to watch if over the top. Punching through pillars, kicking tables in half and nearly missing one another throughout the fight was outrageous fun. But other than that the movie fell flat. I honestly can't recommend this movie. I mean if it shows up on cable or if you have a service that shows it sure, watch it for that fight sequence. But then find something more interesting to do like clean out belly button lint.

Where do I start? Seagal has been going downhill for over 20 years now and getting worse by the day ...And to top it, he's teamed up with an ear biting maniac who could not act to save his life ...Probably one of the worst movies I have ever watched ... and I regret I will never get back the 23 1/2 minutes I spent giving this drivel a chance ...

Seagal is one of the worst actors in Hollywood and now that is unemployed he is going to China to do even worse movies than the one he usually do. This movie is so bad could be interesting for curious people to see it.

Well, the Chinese movie investment did it again, they overlooked a very bad screenplay, casting lot of deadbeat no-talent at all low level actors to play the bad people, watching these non-actors poor performances, I suddenly found Steven Segal and Mike Tyson were actually a pair of pretty good actors in this laughable film. Both of the two leading Chinese actors were also lousy actors with awkward and pretentious performances, the male actor also had a funny Korean style hairdo, that was covered up his forehead with hairs combed down below his eyebrows, this sissy hairstyle is the typical disgusting hairstyle widely used by those sissy looking Korean young actors or singers and blindly copycatted by the Chinese young entertainers. I just felt very uncomfortable to watch a Chinese high tech guy would have a funny Korean hairstyle.Anyway, this is a very shallow movie, blindly invested by those Chinese deep pockets. They thought making the African locality and background setting was a cool and exotic choice that would sell to the Chinese moviegoers easily. But with such a poor screenplay and poor cast, all I could concentrate is the African scenes, the streets, the African people, the desert, the camels, the palm trees and the SUVs....
