All in all this is not a bad movie - the acting is fine and so is the cinematography. But this kind of plot has been done ad nauseam and it's nothing new - so essentially it is a waste of time given how much selection there is these days.

Not bad, but kind of pointless
Anything for the Brotherhood
Gregor (John Ralston ) and his wife Adalina (Lina Roessler ) operate a bakeshop that is a front for drug dealing for the Russian mafia (John Rhys-Davies ). The Aryan Nation is forcing themselves into the Russian's meth business and blood has been shed. Gregor hires Lance (Alan Van Sprang ) a former member to kill the local group and leave no witnesses. He leaves a witness and now he is hunted by those that hired him.
Well acted low key action film. Lance is the reluctant protagonist. If you use a hot iron on your chest, have antibiotics nearby.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
A bit more than just cliched violence for violence's sake...
From the trailer I was worried this would just be gratuitous violence for violence's sake... but it was more! A pleasant surprise!
Great acting and wonderfully dark atmosphere.... You can almost feel the weight of a harsh harsh life of pain, violence and suffering on the main character's life.
The story-line/plot is very cliched but because of the great acting and the well main 'characters', those cliches somehow didn't annoy me (as it normally would have me rolling my eyes and groaning). It seems to me that this film is constantly pushing a message - which I appreciate! (I hate senseless violence and I hate glorifying violent or criminal lifestyles like mob-life or gangs even more!) This film does the opposite, it shows that those lifestyles of crime - drugs, murder etc are horrible, dark and that they TAINT you... for the rest of your life... There is a MORAL to this story which those horrible Hollywood movies usually don't show and for that, I have to write this, so it's not overlooked! Oh.. the moral, as i said above? It's about how low behavior 'taints' you and that it is UGLY. Not a high quality 'great' movie but definitely well above average and worth a look!
