I'm averaging my rating

Rating: 5/10 (28 October 2016)

Ten for 98% of this movie. Zero for the ending. So that's a 5-star in my book. So corrupt justice system wins in the end? This film has the most sickly-sweet, Hollywood ending I think I've ever seen. They could have had the little girl hugging a puppy while she gave her concert performance, I guess. Maybe they could have made her blind or something to tug a bit more at the heartstrings they assume we have. Basically, this movie is the perfect vengeance film (if you ignore the ending). Guy's wife and little girl brutally raped and murdered and the killer gets off on a plea bargain. Ten years later and everyone starts to regret that decision. I guess Hollywood just chickened out at the end. They just couldn't have the little man win out--natural justice prevail. But this still is a very enjoyable movie and I recommend it. Just turn off five minutes early and make up your own ending. Much better.
