This is the story of a surgent who came back to New York City and works as a doorman. There is a heist in the building. The criminals try to rob some artworks. The doorman is the only guard of her relatives who live in the building. The story is nice. I liked the action scenes especially the fighting scenes. The background music and sound effects are awesome. I liked the acting crew. I enjoyed watching the legend Jean Reno. He is one of the few actors who can play incredibly in different genres. For example, he was the star of the action movie 'Leon: The Professional 1994'. Also, he was the star of the comedy movie 'The Visitors 1993'. In summary, I recommend this movie to action genre fans and Jean Reno fans.

So let me be clear this is not a cinematic masterpiece BUT I don't think it was written to be. It has decent fight scenes, keeps you guessing and is a ok use of time for an action movie, it definitely does not deserve the hate it's getting. I wouldn't pay new release money to watch it but for a small rent fee it was worth it..especially during Covid boredom and a rash of terrible terrible movies.

The movie starts decent enough and seemed to be interesting at first. As it goes on though, it starts to fall apart. A lot of totally constructed scenes, stupid decisions of protagonists that usually only happen in horror movies, plus some really bad acting let the whole thing down. Jean Reno does a good enough job, but with a little care and much better writing it all could have been much more enjoyable. Think "Die Hard", but badly made.

Everything was so poorly written and choreographed. If I had watched a preview first I never would have paid for it.

This has got to be the worst movie I've seen this year, it's terribly done on all levels. You don't see any of the punches! The camera just moves and with the fast cutting making you think there's action, but even then you can't feel it. The acting is so bad, the main girl clearly isn't cut out for this role. And Reno is a disappointment, he doesn't do a thing in the movie.

No. Just don't. Heroine is awful, flat. Characters are unlikeable, including her. Completely predictable plot. Don't waste your time. Watch anything else by Jean. Cold Blood is a good option.
