barely decent

Rating: 6/10 (3 October 2010)

Gerard Butler's latest performance seems just a pretext to use his muscles; in theory it should be the excuse for telling again about the US legal system, always more concerned with procedures than real justice. However the story is too full with holes and discrepancies. So let's say that the entertainment value is hard to deny but aside from that and, putting aside the ideological tools, the whole plot is about a hyper-violent fantasy about an unstoppable killer. The biggest disappointment is seeing Jamie Foxx in this unlikely thriller, G. Butler is more suitable for this but an award winning actor should act in more believable movies..
