It is a pretty solid action, suspense movie that is well worth checking out. While there are many similarities to "Collateral" (and a hint of "The Shootist"), this movie is not as good, but it's not a huge decline from that movie. Cole Hauser also does a really good job playing an everyman trying to correct his mistakes. He does a good job playing a heartless killer on the verge of death himself. Even with Cuba's movie choices lately being one step above Val Kilmer's, his acting is far better. After watching "Sacrifice" I was not expecting much from this movie. When they begin to wind up dead Allan is the only one who can stop it. Thinking it's a joke Allan gives him the name of five people he wants dead. After talking to him Jonas says he can help Allan with his problems. After having the worst day of his life Allan (Hauser) meets Jonas (Gooding Jr) at a bar. If you ask me, more thought and planning went into the fancy opening credits sequence than with the rest of the movie.īe careful what you wish for. (For example, think about the way Gooding's character kills the second person on the list.) Gooding is simply unconvincing as a ruthless hit-man, and Hauser has to somehow make his stupid and spineless character sympathetic, which sees far beyond his abilities. The screenplay has a number of other problems, with some decisions by the hero to be so idiotic that I was groaning out loud, and some implausibilities by others that make no sense when you think about them closely. The police in this movie don't come across as dumb as they do in other B movies, and the movie did interest me enough to wonder how the situation would be wrapped up in the end - though honestly, it wasn't worth the wait. For a low budget direct-to-DVD project, the production values are okay, though there are signs of cost-cutting throughout (such as a number of close-ups and very few wide shots). In fairness, this project isn't as bad as some of his other turkeys. has accepted his downfall to direct-to-DVD movies, because he doesn't seem to be trying to pick good projects anymore, including this one. I've come to the conclusion that Cuba Gooding Jr. Unconvincing is perhaps the word that best describes the movie. Clearly his acting abilities were wasted as his part was designed for someone who could read lines without having to feel them. I don't recall Goodling having such a lame role. During the movie Cuba talks in broad philosophical terms, while Allan wants to stop the insanity of all the killing.

After the second person is killed we find out Jonas is terminal and has decided to do some free lance killing. By the time he gets to work the next day, his boss is dead. When Allen returns from the men's room, Jonas is gone with the list. to make a list, but not really kill them. Allen plays along, thinking this is good therapy, i.e. He asks Allen to make a list of 5 people he would want to have killed, and as his friend, Jonas will do it.

Jonas tells Allan he is a hit man and has recently killed a conservative TV talking head. While guzzling JD at a bar he meets up with Jonas (Cuba Goodling) a Jose Cuervo man. Allan also has a shiner from making a bad bet and not being able to pay up. Allan goes home to find his wife sleeping with his best friend. His boss gave his promotion to a younger co-worker who stole his ideas.
