Plenty of One Dimensional Characters

Rating: 5/10 (18 November 2009)

The plot is simple, some guy has wrong done to him so he gets revenge but then goes overboard and kills people only slightly associated with the crime committed against his family. We never get inside the head of the Gerard Butler character and we never care about the Jamie Foxx character. Everything is relatively predictable in this film and while its going on it interests you but when it ends you can't help but to feel cheated. Like oh so they never even intended on elaborating these characters backstories.
I thought this would be a good clever thriller but actually its pretty run of the mill. Not necessarily horrible but definitely nothing new going on here.
