This film obviously has a limited budget, but it's biggest handicap is limited imagination and innovation.
These actors are given nothing to work with but scraps from other action films. The quiet stretches are the strongest parts of the film, and they're not strong.
The real weakness is when action scenes are shot and it's obvious only one take was in the budget.
The scene between Rhys-Meyers and Gigandet at the conference table sounds like bad adult film dialogue. I'm guessing this entire film was shot with one take per scene.
