Mel Gibson back? Yes he is.. This time with a vengeance and an awesome movie to boot. The movies story grips you right from the beginning, also keeps you entertained with the situations that he ends up going through and ends up digging up as well.
What would you do if your son / daughter was gunned down? With no apparent reason to you, no explanation, no clue...? Obviously you would want justice for the crime, but what justice would you be seeking? Would it be justice such as Kevin Bacon in Death Sentence? Or would it be justice such as Training Day where the bad guy was gunned down by other bad guys with you setting it up?
Many scenarios, many options, which would you choose? Mel Gibson did a hell of a job in this movie, his acting, the script, the directing, the editing all played a vital role in making this movie as good as it was. Honestly I did not expect much, but he delivered on all angles with this role making you feel for him and the situation with a passion unrivaled and not seen in some time.
Definitely give this movie a watch if your a fan of the Crime / Drama genre.
8.5 / 10
