Ratings and reviews

I haven't seen Denzel this bad ass since Man on Fire. In my opinion not as good as Man on Fire but it's a good second. It's surprisingly bloody but not too over the top enough to say damn that's gotta hurt. Love it. Hope there's a sequel as its set it self up to create one.

Its not a good film. But, once you start watching you will probably watch it to the end. It is predictable, visually formulaic, and oddly satisfying. And Denzel Washington! What more do you want for 99 cents.

Enjoyed & recommend this movie as a DVD or electronic copy with the subtitles from the Russian speaking parts. I wouldn't recommend this from Google Play as the English subtitles are missing, unless of course, you understand Russian.
