Flawed action thriller

Rating: Null/10 (18 May 2015)

This is the far-from-original story of a man who seeks revenge about the double murder of his wife and daughter. His is not just "a guy" though. It never is! He is ...the best of the best (not original too).
The premise is still interesting though. There are mind games to play in this. It's a thriller. It's not a Steven Seagal movie.
BUT (I'm writing a non-spoiler review) the ending is preposterous and ridiculous. It ruins any possibility to take this movie as serious as you might have thought initially.
The cast is terrible. Jamie Foxx is a really really BAD choice for the lead role of a macho D.A. with high conviction rates. This actor is more for comedic roles like in horrible bosses. Here, his acting is bad and his presence on screen even worst.
The direction and editing is OK but the music is not. It has a character but in my opinion a wrong one. Don't like the mood it creates in combination withe the unsaturated blue-ish cinematography.
Is it fun to watch? Not really. Blame Foxx, and the more dark and grizzly tone than it should have.
Overall: Watch it if you want but you will be unsatisfied. Fpr some reason it reminds me "The Next Three Days" with Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks which is faaaaar better. Watch that instead.
