Overrated - A Mediocre Action Thriller

Rating: 6/10 (21 October 2009)

Before I saw this movie I first perused the many user reviews on IMDb. They were, overwhelmingly, positive. Nearly all rated the movie 9 or 10 stars. Sadly this is not the case.
The movie has an intriguing premise at first glance but it quickly fizzles out as we watch a once good father become a sociopathic killing machine whose intent is to teach a 'corrupt' lawyer and a 'corrupt' justice system some lessons.
Throughout the movie the viewer is supposed to believe that this man, Clyde, (Butler) is a good man attempting to teach Nick (Foxx) a lesson. In fact, teaching us all a lesson about America's corrupt justice system. And we are supposed to believe this as Clyde continues to murder innocent after innocent. The movie is hardly believable and the schemes Clyde concocts are not too surprising and definitely not worth the price of admission.
If you want to see a good action movie that actually entertains see ZombieLand instead. Wait till DVD for this one.
