Mirrors the nation that made it...

Rating: 3/10 (14 January 2015)

OK, so it's a revenge movie and who hasn't seen one of those?
But I am almost tempted to re-watch this movie and count just how many people are killed by the main Protagonist (Keanu Reeves). Surely, there comes a point when there is so much killing you realise the makers of the film had no other ideas.
Which backs my summary headline. When it comes to easing down on the violence America seems to have run out of ideas.
So why three stars?
1/ Even when Keanu Reeves is basically playing Keanu Reeves he's still worth a vote. That said, this film is way beneath him.
2/ A good soundtrack.
3/ Slick cinematography.
For its genre it's OK and if you're watching for the action you'll be pleased. But 30 less dead bodies and a little more story would have made this something special.
