Character developmental roller coaster

Rating: 9/10 (29 November 2004)

Seclusive introvert John Creasy lives with dark secrets that haunt him. He appears to be a reserved character who simply cannot escape the deeds he committed in his past. Just when he is ready to succumb to the despondency,he finds hope and reason in his menial temporary occupation, serving as a bodyguard to a 9yr old girl in Mexico City. He is inevitably captivated by her vivacity and, through her, musters the will to live again. But when the unthinkable occurs, the excrements hit the fan, leaving all on the wrong side of Creasy's fury standing deep in it. Throughout the course of the movie he transforms from a dejected man of sorrow, to a compassionate guardian, to a radical executioner of justice, driven by the anguish of the untimely displacement of his muse. Malefactors beware...there's a new badass in town.
