PLOT
Jimmy Bobo (Sylvester Stallone) is a hitman from New Orleans whose partner gets killed after a job well-done. Jimmy, betrayed by his employer and hunted by another professional hitman Keegan (Jason Momoa), teams up with a out of town detective Taylor Kwon (Sung Kang) in hope to get his revenge and the bounty off his head. Taylor on the other hand wants to unravel a series of organised crimes and needs Jimmy's connections to the criminal underworld, but makes it very clear that Jimmy's also on his arrest list.
Will the odd duo be able to take down the criminal connection and will Jimmy stick to what he does best when Taylor tries to bring him in and put a bullet in his head?

REVIEW
Solid, enjoyable action flick. Chemistry between main characters is good, storyline is not complex. I like the fact that action in very straightforward (like Taken). Film is just fun, solid, enjoyable action flick with legend Sly. If you like his sense of humor, you'll probably like this one too. 3/5
