From: movie reviews Category: Films Date: 26 October 2007 Time: 05:03 PM Review: Ok the naked sauna fight scene is cool, sharp knives wielded by swarthy chechens and viggo with his balls flying. The rest is melodrama with hyper-graphic violence, unnecessary but gives it a kick. The plot and the accents are ludicrous, but mortensen and Armin Mueller-Stahl (he always seems to be a nice looking old guy with a dark side) are good and Naomi Watts is an old fashioned sort of heroine nurse. Then again you cant really see why this film was made and by whom.
