Review by: Qhaddafy on Jan. 26, 2012 : star star star
It started good. Unfortunately, half the way, it lost focus, often skimming from one event to another. Some of the events were a bit funny too, like the counter-blackmail thing, the cop stakeout, sniper in stadium, to name a few. And there's the serious editing problem too.
