Slow at the start, lively for 15 minutes, sadistic and ridiculous at the end, much to long in general.

Rating: Null/10 (28 April 2004)

Slow, very slow, and needing big cuts in the first 45 minutes. Then, if you are not asleep, you'll enjoy fifteen minutes of a charming bleuette between Grandfather Washington and a touching 9 year old. After that, sit tight and love it if you like sadistic movies with kidnappings, finger cuts, gore, horror, and murders. If you don't find that pleasant, be miserable during another hour. Now you can prepare yourself for a ridiculous happy ending, absolutely not credible and crowning an obnoxious scenario where the multi millionaire multi kidnappers live in housing projects and where a man alone destroys a Mexican alqeidalike network of thugs. All this lasts 140 minutes, the longest of your year.
