Denzel and Dakota are truly outstanding

Rating: 8/10 (30 January 2015)

Sensational. Friendship, love, action, suspense, drama, no holds barred revenge.... this film covers all bases and is a must to watch, especially for Denzel and thriller fans. The film slowly builds from a remarkable bond of friendship, into an adrenaline filled treat.
The main thing in the way of a 10/10 for me was some editing during certain key moments in the film, which luckily take little from the overall entertainment value. There are many twists and turns in the film, some of which are surprising; although some were predictable and there were several loose ends needing to be tied up, such as the fate of the helpful reporter.
These minor gripes can easily be overlooked to enjoy a truly astonishing film.
