I bought this movie simply because I love Ian Somerhalder. What a disappointment. The plot was thin, acting horrible, character development poor and otherwise a movie I couldn't wait to end. I love Ian, but I can't help thinking he must be embarrased by such a lousy movie. Having said that he was great. If you love Ian, I suggest you watch this movie with the sound muted and just enjoy watching him. But really, don't buy it. It's just not worth it. You can find better clips of Ian on Youtube!

So, i got the movie because i love Ian Somerhalder. Ian does a great job, as does the blonde waitress that i don't know her actual name. lol
The movie itself was a little lacking. you had to take a lot on faith when it came to the story line itself and its bit of WTF factors.
It was decent enough and worth a watch or two.
The music is really corny and the ending was a little, "why?" but still, if your an Ian fan or if you like someone else in the movie, i'd say its at least worth a rental.

Before I start I want to say that I LOVE Ian Somerhalder and he does a great job as the star of this film. But the story didn't seam fully developed to me. The story was alright but sometimes it felt as if the story jumped and left me slightly confused for a minute. The actors did goos jobs with what they had, and the action kept me interested thoughout the movie. And in the end I would have liked it to be longer so I could really see what the characters did but I believe this was a tv movie or something because that is what it felt like.
In the end I enoyed seeing Ian in a staring role and would watch the movie again if I passed it channel surfing, but I would recomend that you rent before buying, I wish I would have.

Ian what's his nuts looks good & DVD works great - too bad it isn't a Great Movie.
Got it in great condition & quickly though!!

I really have to admit that I am a huge fan of Ian Somerhalder which brought me to buy that movie. But I deeply regret it. Not even a hardcore-fan like me is able to say something positive about that movie... It's a low-cost production, it seems they not even tried to hide that it was shoot in Germany and not the U.S.. The story was more than thin and the repetitions of scenes again and again were absolutely unnecessary, except for the reason to stretch the movie...

Well... like Ian wrote a few years ago (after "The Lost Samaritan") on a message board: "It's been a crazy road but I'm back in the saddle and wanting to send a huge thank you and express to you that I'm truly sorry for bad movies, bad characters and most of all a bad disappearing act!"

For fans of TV Vampire Ian Somerhaulder, this low budget action-suspense film will be an enjoyable time waster. Somerhaulder spends much of the movie in perile, and the plot has just enough suspense to string you a long for 90 minutes. One major flaw: Obviously filmed in Europe, this had a few too many "American" agents and cops with thick European accents. If you can get past that, and some flat dialog, check this one out.
