Last night I watched this action film on Prime Video.
"After decades of neglect, Castle Heights Hospital, this symbol of the city's segregated past has been packed with dynamite and is ready to be demolished. No one knows that a gang leader, now in prison, hid the 3 million dollars in cash he stole from his rivals inside the abandoned building. Now, three desperate parties want the money - a blue collared ex-MMA fighter (Adkins) who finds it while working as part of the demolition crew, a prison guard (Lundgren) willing to do anything to pay for his daughter's cancer treatment and a ruthless gang who claim to be the rightful owners. The demolition charges are set, everyone clears out and the Castle is set to fall in 90 minutes. The clock is ticking. Who will find the cash and: will they get out alive?"
This is actually a quiet good low budget action buddy film starring Dolph Lundgren who also directed and produced this film, Scott Adkins who also was an executive producer on this film and a bunch of other actors who I don't know but they are the bad guys and they don't matter.
Dolph and Scott do work well together, and their fight scenes against each other was brilliant.
I must admit, I am liking Scott Adkin films a lot more now than I did when he first started, his acting chops are getting better and he can be quite funny too.
The fight choreography and the abandoned hospital provides a visually interesting setting for the majority of the film's action.
The story had heart and the two main leads had an interesting background story on why they need the money.
I won't spoil the ending but the good guys win!
I shall rate this film a score of 8/10.
