It's not a home run

Rating: 7/10 (15 March 2010)

Just watched this movie and read some reviews here on IMDb, I do not think my two cent review will be of any value, but I will do it anyway.
Having read the plot summary beforehand I hunkered down to watch what I believed was going to be another disappointing remake of a plot that we have seen over and over again since time and memorial. I was hoping maybe this version would be different and if not, I would watch it just for the sake of the well known actors involved.
Here we go: Man losses family-the justice system fails him-man decides to teach the justice system a lesson. Good actors-good acting "but wait" the man turns out to be an absolute tactical genius, this movie might turn out to be *10 stars*. I am engrossed, intrigued-I want more-he has all involved perplexed-he is proving himself to be the genius of all genius-I want more of this-this movie is going to be the best.
-twist-
The justice system learns the lesson he is trying to teach them against him and out smarts the genius of all geniuses-disappointment- the justice system is now the genius-man dies-total let down-despair- disappointment-the credits of the movie roll by.
Now if you go into this movie hoping all along the way that the justice system prevails you are going to find this movie satisfying, but if you get attached to the genius main character you are going to hate the end, but then again maybe after some consideration after the movie ends you might just think he was the genius of geniuses after all? I give this movie 7 stars for making it to 3rd base but failing to hit a home run.
