Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/medical procedures/capital punishment elements/suicide

Storyline: it is good; it does follow a simple yet reliable storyline formula and the pacing is good

Action/Comedy/Art/Blooper: in one way or another these components go hand-in-hand [action/comedy] because there are some situations where these two components go hand-in-hand I will just give you one; basically Twitch/Kurupt wants to fire this rocket launcher inside this Prison [San Quentin,] so Petrosevitch/Seagal instructs him but he forgot to tell him about the potential kickback; on firing this rocket launcher the rocket went one way and he went in the opposite direction flying backwards.

Action/Art; so likewise I will just give you one example, this criminal task force coming down through this broken glass window in the ceiling at different points in this sequence on these wires; either landing on a prison guard shoulders and shooting around or coming in upside down on their wires shooting or coming down firing.

Action individually there is weapons being used and combat

Comedy/Blooper; these two components go hand-in-hand in the first section of the closing credits we have Twitch/Kurupt and Twitch's Girlfriend/Nique arguing about things over this telephone conversation during visiting time at San Quentin Prison. But here is the blooper on the cast list [it says the following Twitch's Girlfriend, but in this scene she is wearing a ring and it gets brought up in the dialogue exchanges the ring and not the meaning behind the ring, so I am thinking she isn't a Girlfriend but a Fiancée instead [I asked for a second opinion and the person I had asked she said basically yes it is the wedding ring finger] and individually there is comedy in the dialogue exchanges.

 

Art individually we have beautiful scenery for one example this computer slide scenery [this will make better sense when you watch this film,] because when you see it; it will capture your attention.

Characters/Performances: including the on-screen chemistry; it is good I mean they do follow a simple yet reliable formula like the storyline.

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good; as you may have guessed by now, this film is something solidly good [I mean solidly from the perspective of using reliable components to make a solidly good film, basically this film knows from beginning to end what it is doing and it sticks to that plan. [On a quick side note if there are any fans of the musician/performer Ja Rulehe out there in Internet land; he is also in this film as Nicolas 'Nick' Frazier.
