With a runtime of 90 minutes under the direction of Peter Travis, the story is told from different perspectives. The film clicks as a result of the efforts of the director and first-time screen writer Barry L. Levy who have used flashbacks to reveal more details surrounding the attempt of the president’s assassination who had been in Spain on a global summit for terrorism at the time.
As the President is about to address an audience, he is shot twice; this is followed by a small explosion and then a massive blast. Immediately quick action is taken by Agents Barnes (Dennis Quaid), Taylor (Matthew Fox), and Holden (Richard T. Jones) to find the culprits in the midst of all disorder that has emanated.

This is a sequel to the one released in 2005. But this time Uwe Boll is not the director. The duo Michael Roesch and Peter Scheerer have worn the two hats of writer and director. Edward Carnby teams up with a group of witch hunters in search of the dangerous witch Elisabeth Dexter. The movie could have been a lot better than it is. Michael Pare and Danny Trejo have been wasted in their small roles. I have mixed feelings about the movie and doubt if horror fans would find this as one generating the needed chills and thrills. Anyway watch it and send in your feedback.

Some beautiful scenes from Thailand accompanied by painfully bad, gory action stuff gives this movie a distinctive zing. Action flick fans might find the action sequences stunning. Nevertheless, it is not free from some shoddy qualities, the most prominent one being it’s simply awful to look at. This is a re-make of a 1999 film directed by Oxide Pang Chun and Danny Pang who had also directed the earlier film with the same title.
The final assignment of Joe, an international hit man which involves four kills before his retirement is to be completed in Bangkok. As he works through the assignment, he gets help from Kong, a local street kid. Joe adheres to some simple codes and by the third hit, he discovers that he is breaking his four rules, is emotionally involved with a deaf-mute pharmacist (Charlie Young), leaves behind traces and is completely out of focus. While executing the third target, he gets noticed by some shocked onlookers.
And by the time, he goes in for the fourth target, he doubts that he is seen and escapes from the panicking crowd. He can now leave the country unharmed or rescue Kong. He decides to save Kong. He goes to the gang head quarters, kills everybody and rescues Kong and the dancer. The only person left is the gang leader Surat whom Joe forces into the back seat of the car while he gets into the car himself. The cops arrive right in time and this time Joe has no other alternative than to kill himself along with Surat.

Blood and chocolate could serve a likely treat for action and thriller fans although there isn’t anything significant and new offered in this werewolf story.
The story involves a pack of werewolves who have successfully established their reign in Bucharest for 5,000 years. But suddenly the pack begins to feel vulnerable when one of them interrogates their traditions which has been followed for centuries. Destiny brings Vivian (Agnes Bruckner) who had been orphaned at a very young age, to the pack. The horrifying leader of the pack Gabriel (Olivier Martinez) wants Vivian as his next wife but the latter is in love with a man, (Olivier Martinez), a graphic artist who has come to the city to accomplish a research that would help him in his study. Gabriel discovers their love affair and pursues the werewolf and the human. The two are on the run for a while until they are forced to face the pack in a confrontation.
Gore and violence are limited in the movie which is compensated by the location in Romania astoundingly presenting the air of mystery in the movie. The German director Katja von Garnier’s direction has beautifully delved into a monster movie and transformed it to romantic flick. But the fact remains there isn’t any major advances in this werewolf story considering the present time.

The opening scene features a car race between Machine Gun Joe (Tyrese Gibson) and a famous masked driver known as Frankenstein (David Carradine), escorted by a female navigator. The race ends with Joe smashing Frankenstein's car with the latter presumably left to die or sustain severe injuries.
In the meanwhile, Jensen Ames (Jason Statham), though innocent, is convicted for his wife's murder. In prison, a sadistic warden called Hennessey (Joan Allen) coerces him to be the driver of Frankenstein's Ford Mustang. She tells him that prisoners who win five death races are entitled to be freed. But since in the case of Frankenstein who had already won four before his death, it would suffice if Ames won only one race. Ames is also threatened with a picture of his baby under foster care. Ames learns of Hennessey's personal gains she can acquire out of the race, nevertheless, the threats meted out force him to take part in the race.
Under the direction of Paul W. S. Anderson, the car sequences are simply great with the rivals trying to run each other off the course. Machine cannons, oil slicks and ultra violence – there's plenty of them in the movie.
While you can watch the movie to enjoy the endless car stunts staged, it's loud and chaotic that could be tedious to some.
