Weak

Rating: 3/10 (20 December 2019)

Lame, contrived and implausible. Vigilante movies are squarely aimed at the lowest common denominator, and this is certainly no different. Exception here is that instead of a straight find 'em-and-kill 'em story, the plot gets more and more unnecessarily convoluted and bizarre the further you go on. Eventually the plot twists get predictable, and tedious.
The other problem is that in the end it is the justice system that is painted to be the problem, not the misguided villain. You are normally meant to sympathise with and support the vigilante, here, no matter what brought him to this situation, he is beyond sympathy.
Dead giveaway that this is a pile of excrement is the presence of Gerard Butler. He is a one-dimensional action actor and can't do an American accent.
Jamie Foxx is better than this, as his Oscar win and another nomination attest to. His choice in movies needs to be better though. Despite his clear acting talent, he is fairly unconvincing, and even irritating, here.
Good supporting cast - Colm Meaney, Bruce McGill, Leslie Bibb - are wasted.
Only plusses are that it has a fair degree of intrigue, the action sequences are well done, and the movie is reasonably short.
