We see Hit-man Sade (Laurence Fishburne) shoot and kill the people at a cemetery burial and he realizes that a little girl, Bird, (Ella Ballentine) has seen him and can identify him. Bird runs away to a farm house where Carter (Thomas Jane) is feeling sorry for himself. Sade must find that little girl.
The role of Sade seemed, to me, to be more suited to Samuel L. Jackson but maybe he wasn't available. We are not used to seeing Fishburne in this kind of a bad guy role, but he does okay not as good as Samuel L. Jackson, perhaps, but okay. Sade comes across Carter's house and a standoff ensues. Carter won't give the girl up.
One would think that this standoff wouldn't last long, but it does and the pacing is pretty good and we aren't bored. Good acting by Jane and Fishburne help that along. There is nothing uncomfortable in here except for the fact that Sade must kill the little girl. (That's uncomfortable enough)
Regardless of any good or great acting by Fishburne and Jane, this is not for everyone. (5/10)
Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Language: Yes, but not much.
