Extreme and unique

Rating: 10/10 (14 November 2009)

When I first saw the trailer, I couldn't wait to see this one. I was really intrigued. It did reminded me of the Death Sentence, but I can assure you... it's way different.
Gerard Butler was the perfect choice for the part. Although I wasn't expecting too much after all the love comedies I saw him starring, I was hoping for the best, and I was surprised. He combined all the emotions... the anger, grief, insanity, rage, and putted them out there on the big screen so realistically, so skillfully... I was really blown away. No doubt, this kind of profiles suits him best.
The basic plot was kind of already-seen-story, but the whole concept was very unique with some unexpected and original twists. It's brutal, sad, powerful and well paced action-packed thriller. It's also funny at the times and it's one of those movies that makes you cheer for the "bad guy" even though you can't be really sure who is the real "bad guy" here.
It met my expectations as it's the best of the mentioned genre this year. Go and see it... it's quite a refreshment...
