Stallone travels into a winter wonderland to have a slasher movie. He's a burnt out cop recuperating in some frozen gulag. How anyone could get healthy in a place like that is beyond me. Faster than it takes to blink, a serial killer springs out of the snow and decides he hates cops, especially Stallone. The battle is on.

The movie zoomed ahead without a second of mystery or suspense. It couldn't wait to end. It actually started off semi-interesting. Once Stallone hits the D-Tox center however, the filmmakers took a weed whacker to the movie. It moved like a Michael Bay movie on steroids.

Stallone did have a cool fight at the end with the killer. I'll give it that. But it's all "been there, done that". I think the filmmakers figured that out about the midway point and hit the gas pedal to the finish line.

SCORE: 1.5 out of 4 Stallones in therapy
