While I heard terrible things about Downrange, both No One Lives and Midnight Meat Train are underrated. They're not award worthy but they are fun in a late night, turn your brain off kind of way. I'm also a fan of Ruby Rose to an extent. I'm not a hundred percent sure he can hold down a leading role but she's been solid as a supporting actress.

MEh, slow night, netflix, maybe. No way I am paying $14.00 to see this.

A promo trailer can be found here:

It certainly looks like it delivers the action.

Just watched the movie tonight (caught it on cable while channel surfing). Why, this is just Die Hard in a building...waitaminute. I suppose it delivers the goods, even if it doesn't do anything different from its predecessors (Die Hard; Sudden Death; and Under Siege). It's also missing Kitamura's trademark hyper gore. The fight scenes, staged by Simon Rhee, are okay, I guess. The early fights are over-edited. The later fights a more visible, but you wish that Kitamura's trademark swirling camerawork would be in service of better screen fighters. A few good moves here and there, but ultimately nothing to write home about. And Jean Reno is now in his mid-70s, so he looks more fat in the face than before. His accent in this also came across as more of what an American would expect a Frenchman to sound like speaking English than he usual voice.
