OK so it's 10 years old now

Rating: 2/10 (9 September 2019)

Hmm...Let me see.
An electronics and weapons expert who wants vengeance against the principals in a trial of a guy who murdered his family.
Not a bad plotline in the great scheme of ideas, but in true Hollywood fashion it is taken to ridiculous extremes and in the end falls flat on its face.
The entire U.S. military couldn't come up with the logistics that this guy seems to manage before breakfast, but that doesn't stop the screenplay from attempting to get us to believe this crap.
We're also expected to believe that the D.A. (Jamie Foxx) has almost all of the Philadelphia police department at his immediate disposal; helicopters, swat teams and legal eagles, all there to do what he says, when he says it.
What a crock.
Then we have the mandatory scenes with Foxx's adorable daughter playing the effing cello for goodness sake, while the audience watches rapt with pleasure. It's like a scene stolen from Airplane!
Like I said, it's 10 years old now, but stupid is stupid no matter what the age. I don't know how they got the money together for this but I'd sure like to meet the guy who doles it out. I have a great script treatment for him to look at and a bridge to sell him!
