The supposedly slick action is not enough for a willing suspension of disbelief.

I totally believe that John Abraham can lift a car or crush dozens of men with his bare hands even when he has a long metal nail embedded in his shoulder... It's the rest of the film that is difficult to process.

Director Abhinay Deo slides in tired themes of patriotism and politicians, but at no point does it seem that these two are not in charge.

The fundamental flaw in a film like this -- other than the repetitive wowlessness of it all -- is the fact that by creating too dry and no-nonsense protagonists instead of fleshing them out as characters, you end up failing the genre.
