From good to decent to bad.

Rating: 7/10 (9 September 2010)

It was good to see a movie finally depict what I like to think I'd do to someone who went free after they broke into my home, stabbed me in the chest and then raped and murdered my wife and daughter in front of me while I lie there helplessly.
The - I suppose he is the antagonist - then goes on to flip off the entire justice system, and continues to kill people while rather plainly stating that the only way they'll stop him is to admit that their system is broken then shoot him in the face.
Sadly it became harder and harder to sympathize with him, as his targets became less and less involved with his case to the point where he eventually started killing random people because it was convenient for his plan, or just for being part of 'the system', in order to 'deliver his message'. Does somebody really deserve to die for handling the paperwork of the lawyer who dropped your case? One also wonders exactly how he meant for his message to be conveyed as all the public saw were people getting murdered for no apparent reason, and the mayor and her higher-ups didn't seem to care at all about his plight.
The movie would've been more interesting if he had simply stopped killing people after the two who murdered his family, and then eluded punishment through the same legal abuse that failed to give him justice. (Perhaps to then turn around and point out the system's flaws before accepting his punishment?) Him being a super-awesome-CIA badass also took away from the fun of him being an everyman standing up for himself.
The movie rapidly degenerated to the point where, in the final half hour, nobody seemed to care if anything made sense anymore. Still, I liked it.
