This movie was just OK to me. Yeah a few tense moments but the story line was confusing at times. Oh, well, one that I won't buy.
2.5 star rating
What made up for this all over the place, scattered, confusing plot was Mel Gibsons compelling performance. This movie had all the elements to be a pretty good suspense crime drama. What it turned out to be was a mess of shallow characters and a dragging screenplay that in the end didn't really reveal much information. There was not really a lot of character development and the revenge Gibson wanted to get he got in the end, but it took him forever to piece together a simple predictable story of his daughter. And it wasn't a badass revenge sequence. Some good action scenes and funny it was filmed down the street from my house in Boston. Average movie with a slow moving script.
