Ratings and reviews

If you like logical storylines, give this a miss. Without spoilers, main character, jumps over the shotgun, runs past the automatic rifle, pushes the pistol out of his way, goes into his toolshed, crafts a series of unlikely weapons, then engages the enemy. Every choice any normal person would make, this idiot does the complete opposite.

I was a bit disappointed by the main plot points. E.g. dad is senile so thankfully he is the only member of the family to get knocked off leaving the rest of the family to enjoy their lives without him. Message? When your parents are getting to old and infirm and they won't follow orders do them in. Wife drives up the track to the cabin, leaves car in the road, but miraculously the cops can get past. Joe, leaves the house area in the final chase scene with Ugg boots on, but by the time he is going to stick his leg in the bear trap he has high grade mountain walking boots on. Every bad guy gets injured in the right shoulder before succumbing to a final and fatal injury except for the boss. Unfortunately a B grade effort.

I love Jason but he needs to stick with being Aquaman and being in tough Frontier, Game of thrones or Wolves kinda movie. He is a strong man, in this film he seems kinda weak though besides I think the storyline let him down the most. If his background was ex-military he would've come off a lil more better in fight scenes. But i would rate this movie a B- for those reasons only. Stephen Lang is an older actor he's been in several independent films and a couple of upper ones too like The Hills Have Eyes but yeah i mean it is watchable but don't expect blockbuster action. But overall it's a good movie to watch
