I'm glad I bought this when it was on sale and didn't pay full price. The trailer made it look quite interesting. You'd think by now I would learn that trailers are lies. . While the premise might have been interesting, the execution was poor. Nothing about it was particularly engaging, the acting was mediocre, the effects were average, some of the filming was just tedious - pointless long takes showing nothing of particular interest to the story, it felt like padding. . This film is listed as action-adventure, like the trailer, this is a lie. There was no energy or emotion in the action and as for adventure, let's just say this movie is a good cure for insomnia.

The ridiculous lengths the producers went to shoot long takes only serves to downgrade an already poor effort. Way too much energy is spent on trying to get continuity (in the form of stupidly long, cut-free scenes) instead of quality acting and effects. The actors are robotic, emotionless and stiff. And the plot - martial law as Texas annexes itself from the US - laughablly bad. A struggle to get through.

What an appalling storyline. I watched the whole film hoping for a redeeming ending, only to be very disappointed. I probably should give one star, but I'm i a good mood.
