or as it's otherwise known "The Return of Mel Gibson to the Big Screen"
A lot of people will probably shoot this down just because of how Gibson has * them off offscreen, but it is what it is. Gibson returns back to basics, starring in an action/thriller that builds in layers. He does a pretty good job as the vengeful father tracking down the killers of his daughter. There's a couple of other interesting characters too, and the action, along with the gradually adding layers to the story, turn this into a pretty good flick. Gibson is starting to look a bit long in the tooth, but he captured the dark moods he should have had pretty well. A stretch of the believability here and there, but overall a fun movie to watch. I'd say B+ |
