Likes : I know i allot of reviews for this film are bad review but this isn't to bad, Ive seen allot worst film than this, but this film feel like Swat in a way with a hard hitting gritty film with a pretty graphic violence's & drugs runners.
From the beginning of the film you can understand Arnold's character as you see his wife & child being mutilate by Colombian drug lords on a video which give this film its edge. Arnold stars as the commander of a DEA "special operations" strike team (whatever that is), the single positive note here being Schwarzenegger does wear his age well. Other than that, his delivery of terribly written lines lack any timing, synchronicity or emotion. We see the old Arnie trying to shine through in some of his expressions, but his usual animation and vitality never come through.
As for the DEA team Arnie leads, well, the movie asks you to care for them or at least find them interesting as the opening gives each team member a spiffy nickname that's really not. Although the team is composed of some fairly large name actors (Sam Worthington, Terence Howard, Mirelle Enos), each of them is foul mouthed, hyper violent, a drug addict, or all three. That the movie goer is expected to view them as elite law enforcement officers doesn't really come off very well on screen.
Although the action is pretty good, fast paced, this film does lack in the storyline, as it not a memorial film but still a good film to watch, But i think Arnold isn't as good as he use to be, although he does do well in this film to holds he own he wear his age well better than ive seen him in other film's, but i feel the fast pace action genre film's is way behind him now he gotten older, he not quite the action hero he use to be.
As ive said this was an ok film, not his best but still worth watch, but may not be everyone's type of film.

Dislikes : there was a few plot holes in the story & not much involvement in to the back ground of the team other than the fact they are hyper violent,foul mouthed, drug taking,money stealing team, which makes the real DEA agents a joke really.
Overall: Dark hard hitting gritty film, with extreme graphic violences & drugs
Rating: 4.2 out of 5 for entertainment / 6.1 out of 10 for story-line.
