Similar concept to gone in sixty seconds, I'd get rid of relatives as it clearly does them no good! Good story line and one I'd watch again…

I'm expecting a decent B Grade movie that stars Wahlberg in it, turns out its just another dark generic action movie…

Solid enough action thriller if you're looking for something like this. There's a few decent twists along the way and the pace of things is good…
