Could not stop watching...

Rating: 8/10 (8 December 2009)

When I first seen the trailer for this film, I was slightly excited to see that Butler could be in his first decent movie since 300.
I was not disappointed - even his attempt at an American accent was acceptable. The Story I thought was fantastic - One Mans crusade against the injustice of the American Legal System.
Fox playing a fantastic - jobs worthy legal council who's objective isn't to be perceived as one of these on the fence lawyers who will do right by his client but will do what it takes for maintaining his "96%" Conviction Rate.
The speed of the story is set at the right pace I think that the director could have got lost in the length of time between the death of Butlers Family and Butlers Retribution against the "System" Butler as we find out is a calculated, smart engineer who seems to have a career as a "fixer" for the government - with also Abs to Die for.. Butler plays his character I think to perfection, the emotion you see in his face.
I would not say there was a surprise round every corner - but one scene involving the judge (Corley) Fox and McGill just blew me away - although I was expecting some bangs and bombs - I wasn't expecting her to be blown away by a mobile phone.
I feel that there was just enough action that it did not bore me - the ending of the film I cant complain about either - it would have been good I personally think if Butler got his way - but I feel that's what this movie does for you.
Do you choose Revenge Justice for family members that have been failed by the system? Or do you choose the righteous path and be happy with what goes through the courts? Worth a Watch - Worth a Purchase on DVD
