Goofs
When Alice fires her handgun (a semi-automatic) even tho shot in slow-motion, the slide doesn't move back. This is a simple identifiable function of this sort of weapon which is shot in slow-mo intentionally in many other films for it's dramatic effect. Instead, Alice jerks the weapon back as if it were fired, and the target is magically struck by a bullet that could not have come from Alice's gun.

Quotes
Hugo: [first lines - sighting his rifle] Where'd that fourth guy disappear to?
Vitali: Take it easily Hugo.
Hugo: Christ Vitali. They're getting younger every day. I didn't come here to kill kids.
Vitali: If you don't, they won't spare *you*.
Hugo: What if that would suit me just fine. Really.
Vitali: Come on Hugo, they need us here.
Hugo: But they're just kids! What the fuck am I doing here Vitali?
Vitali: God only knows.
Hugo: God would never let things get this fucked up.
Vitali: Don't try to blame all mankind's fuck ups on God. Now you tell me why a young man from a wealthy family like you came here to fight? Because it's exciting to join a group like Liberty Bells. Fighting for freedom all over the world. What a great cause. But once you're in it, you realize it's another story.
Vitali: Go get some sleep. You'll feel better.
Hugo: I'm not about to sleep...

If it wasn't for the shoot-out...

Honestly, if this movie had not included the aforementioned shooting scene, there would be really not much to see. In short, a not bad idea with a bad delivery. Acting not really believable and pardon me, Franch actors trying not to sound French, even with their voices dubbed onto the movie as they most probably could not deliver acting performance together with not sounding French. Funny if not ridiculous at times. Instead of saying the usual French 'otel' - I mean 'hotel', pronouncing every single syllable to the best of their abilities. Totally unbelievable role of the female cop, naive, dumb and artificial. Nice try, try harder next time...
