Felt a bit like the thriller Cop movie's of old in the 'Dirty Harry' sense. Kept my attention from beginning till end, not too over the top, however, a excellent script keeps your involvement in the movie, even if you feel your getting nothing original. Mel Gibson's acting is still displayed at it's best with the fast pace which keeps you wanting for more.Lay relaxed on your couch in the knowledge your in for a good few hour's of entertainment.

I would recommend this movie as I liked it from the beginning to the end. Gripping, with an unpredictable story, good direction and excellent performances.

But there's a slightly dark or perhaps more accurately, manipulative message in this film which is more about the actor than the characters!
