Gee, how many guys did John the Baptist (David Zayas) need to rob a bunch of paintings? I don't recall how big his gang was starting out, but five of his men were taken out before he became pet food himself, which still left his locksmith somewhere at the end still standing. So that would be a total of seven, which made for a lot of guys sharing in the proceeds, provided you could sell all those masterpieces on the black market.
So anyway, there's not much to recommend here. A couple of reviewers for this film mention how Mel Gibson seems to be going the way of Bruce Willis in these sub-par action flicks, which is something I thought of as well when this thing got under way. However I did like the nuance Gibson provided to the character he portrayed, a retired ex-cop with a nasty lung condition that made it seem like he was heading for his last roundup, even without the bad guys showing up. Ray Barrett (Gibson) wheezed and hacked his way through the picture while cracking wise with Cardillo (Emile Hirsch) and Pena ( Stephanie Cayo), partner cops responding at first to a dust up at the local grocery, then moving on to evacuate an apartment complex ahead of a major hurricane.
Here's the million dollar question I'd like someone to answer - how is it that John the Baptist, who probably wore a shirt about a size 3XL, manage to fit into Cardilo's cop uniform, which was no bigger than a Large?
