I am a huge Stallone fan, but sadly this is one of Stallone's worst films, if not the absolute worst. Mainly because of the female lead, who is insufferable as a character. Air-headed, entitled and shrill, her developmental arc is non-existent. None of the characters are interesting and all fall on tired clichés. The dialogue is atrocious, everything is so poorly written and random inconsequential twists are added in - 'Hi dear, your father is playing squash. No, actually he's gay' - exaggerated but the jist of it. There's even a full scene presumably meant to be funny about an assassin with flatulence. Throwing in the typical unconvincing (to Brits) posh British accent, it's overwhelmingly poor.
Stallone does nothing wrong, other than make the decision to join this film. Not even sure what the genre is, it's not comedy, drama, romance or action. No wonder it went direct to DVD. Plus, after acting that isn't too cringe-inducing as a whole, in the climax it is atrocious, at least it's over in the space of seconds. An hour and a half building to that. Terrible.
