Great acting and great movie....on the edge of my seat the whole time...Kevin Bacon's acting was super and so was Kelly Preston's....One of the best I've seen in a long long time...Very touching family and the transformation of a nice guy into something he really was not...Great flic!

If you are into action/fighting/tough guy films, don't miss this one. But in terms of plausibility, the plot only seemed credible for the first 30 minutes... after that it became silly, occasionally cheesy, and predictable.

I liked some parts of this movie but overall it was unrealistic and often cheesy at times. The underlying story is a good one and would come across alot better if told in a different way. Kevin Bacon's character goes from a guy at an office desk to a guy that just can't be killed. Title should have been "The Baconator"

KEVIN BACON CONTINUES TO SHOW HIS EXCELLENT ACTING SKILLS AS A REALISTIC BUSINESSMAN - FATHER WHO'S LIFE GOES FROM FABULOUS TO TRAGIC IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. HIS OVERWHELMING GRIEF, RAGE AND ULTIMATLELY ILL THOUGHT OUT ACTIONS ARE ONLY TOO REAL FOR THE "AVERAGE" AMERICAN HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE. I FELT FRUSTRATION WITH SOME OF HIS CHOICES BUT UNDERSTOOD HIS STRUGGLE. THE SUPPORTING CAST WAS EXCELLENT. KUDOS TO BOTH GARRETT HEDLUND AND JOHN GOODMAN FOR CREATING BOTH FRIGHTENING BUT BELIEVABLE CHARACTERS. KELLY PRESTON CONTINUES TO SHOW THAT SHE SHOULD BE USED MORE IN MAINSTREAM HOLLYWOOD FILMS. THE FILM IS UNSETTLING BUT THE TOPIC REALLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED MORE. WE DO NEED TO FIND A SOLUTION AS BOTH SIDES ALWAYS LOSE !

I cried, I laughed, I screamed ... this movie had it all ... Kevin Bacon did a terrific job!! The movie, while pretty violent - with the shotgun blasts blowing holes through the screen - was an awesome theater experience. There was a lot of blood - a lot ... but it was also entertaining. That's disturbing to me. I was entertained, yet real life is becoming too much like this movie ... our lives are becoming too violent. There doesn't appear to be an end in sight either. This movie deserves the "R" rating. And you'll still be good and pumped when it's all said and done. It's a real rush. There was one thing I didn't like -- and that was the fact the the police department seemed too unreal - unbelievable ... I am sure that in real life the police would have acted a lot differently than in the movie. All in all it was worth the adrenaline rush!! Enjoy the show!!! P.S. John Goodman was funny and did a great job!!!
