Just started it, didn't hear much about it when it was released. Have no idea what to expect.

I see the apartments they used for the bad guys place is Crescent City Gates in Algiers. I had a job over there, and it was so bad. Easily the worst apartments in town, worse than any projects. Had a thread on the OT about them. The owners just pissed me off so much I wound up walking away from the job and took a small loss. I just couldn't feel safe working there.

Place looked worse than Cabrini Green in Candy Man, or the BW Cooper in the sequel.

Seemed like your run of the mill action movie so I didn't watch it. Let us know what you think once you've seen it.

It was pretty good for a popcorn flick. Had action and suspense and a slight twist.

Pretty cool seeing all the NOLA spots, and Walberg wearing a K&B shirt.

Just watched this movie last night and enjoyed it. I was wondering though about Ribisi's characters accent? Was that specific to an area/type in Nola area? It was cool and just downright fitting and trashy but wasn't sure where he got it.

I liked it a lot. Was cool seeing Panama and I enjoy Wahlberg and Ben Foster as actors.
