Doesn't Know What It Wants To Be

Rating: Null/10 (17 October 2009)

This movie, while gripping, is wildly implausible. It falls apart with an incredibly dumb third act. Even in the trailers, it's obvious that this film had structural problems right from the start. It really doesn't know what type of movie it wants to be. It tries to be a mixture of "Taken," "The Punisher," and "Seven" but ends up being less than the sum of its parts. It's a revenge flick that turns on itself and the viewer doesn't know who to back and who to root for. I'm sure that's the point, to unsettle the viewer and make them think but the results aren't very entertaining. The "accomplice" plot twist is completely implausible if you think about it.
