Nothing new or Earth shattering here. However, the one bright spot IMO is Claudia Black, whose dulcet tones of late have been mostly heard doing voice-over work in video games. But, even as she approaches the half century mark, one can still catch the mischievous sparkle of Vala Mal Doran or Aeryn Sun, in her eyes, (especially in the post credit scene) even though the material here strikes a more somber tone. Other than David O'Hara, the rest of the cast do pedestrian work with what they are given, and, in the absence of any reason or backstory as to why they were chosen for this particular mission, they are each relegated to the role of cannon fodder, to be predictably dispatched, albeit, willy nilly.
As @ Invader303 opined, the entire affair is fairly predictable, which is sad, as, Ms. Black, given her talent, and the sparsity of her recent roles, deserves better. But then again, it's a paycheck, so, who am I to judge.
