Not Mel Gibsons best work, but definitely worth watching.
Good big corporation / government crime drama. Not 100% clear on the ending but it doesn’t really matter.
Watchable, very slow. interesting story.
The son of a bitch knows story structure
One of Mel Gibsons better action movies, recommended!
It's relatively slow with little payoff. Mel is great but the script is lacking.
Solid revenge flick. Gibson does his best Liam Neeson impersonation while fighting corruption at every turn.
Definitely an underrated Mel Gibson thriller. Set in Boston he’s out hunting down the bad guys looking for payback
Maybe I had high expectations. But it was slow and dull for my tastes. Good revenge film was there but it just missed the mark.
Above average, dark and dense action thriller. Well directed, and acted.
