When a man's family is murdered he will sometimes take any steps to exact revenge, in this case Gerard Butler is the perfect man for the job especially when his character has the skills to cause pain. I think this is a respectable role for him and that he gives a good performance. High adrenaline action and brutal vengence carry the film through it's dark and foreshadowing story. Another member from the cast that I believe does a convincing job in his role is Jamie Foxx a young man stepping into the law as many things begin to go wrong even as the suspect is imprisoned. This thriller is a sure win. This movie is definately not for kids torture blood, language, and a rape sequence. The preview itself built an attraction anyone else whose seen knows what I mean. Exciting as it gets this film is another movie masterpiece. I can't wait to see what it accumulates in theaters.

I have a 3 year old daughter so this movie got to me. It got to me because if anyone hurt my little ones, hell hath no furry like what I would bring. Saying that, I honestly think that those who don't have children won't like this movie much. You just won't understand a parent's overwhelming need to protect or it's rage as it pertains to their children. Before children, I wouldn't have either so it's understandable. Parenthood changes things. Parents, something in you will stir and you'll probably enjoy it. My wife isn't much for violence and cursing but she was just as happy as me to see people get what they deserved. For those that think this film is about revenge, you are missing the true point of this film. It's about changing perception and someone's sense of direction, altering their course to do what's right. The REVENGE plot is just a smoke screen. Understanding this piece of information, will probably allow you to enjoy this movie.

I love Gerard Butler, and was expecting some violence, but this movie had more than I expected, and pretty brutal too, right from the get go. Hated the ending, but overall, I would say it was ok.

This movie really brings an array of emotions from beginning to end. There is a lot of drama and shocking moments to make both eyes bulge wide open during the film. You might jump at a particular scene or two. The movie flows and there never is a dull moment. Its intense, entertaining, and although I wish it would've ended differently, the entire movie is just brilliant and I can't wait to see it again. I wont be a dopey reviewer and give all details away like some do. Go see it for yourself and enjoy!!!

My boyfriend pratically dragged me to the theaters to see it and dragged me out to leave. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. An interesting look at how we as a so called civilized society handle so called law and order. A great topic to get any party started. I'm definately buying this when it comes to stores.
