  • Busey's boss McAllister seems to be in a different movie: turtlenecks, dressed differently, a bad guy who should have an accent.
  • Pushback that he seems exactly like someone who might have been in the CIA is accepted as fair.
  • He never seems like a leader, as in the 'roll up your sleeve' scene with Mendez where he burns Busey's arm with a candle.
  • The part needed either Jack Palance in Tango & Cash-level excess or a better actor such as William Hurt or Lithgow.
  • Busey is good, but unlike Die Hard with Rickman the film and series lack a true big bad; the South African villains in the sequel are good but no Rickman.
  • The character, the General, was played by Mitchell Ryan, whose credits include Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers and TV work.
  • It feels like someone better, like Sam Elliott, called in sick; more was wanted from him.
