Jackman in fine form.

Rating: 7/10 (13 December 2013)

If you haven't been a Jackman fan before, I think this is the one to change that. Terence Howard and Jake Gyllenhaal also bring some stunning performances to the film. After seeing the trailer for this I thought this is a sure winner. They could have done a little more with the 'wife' characters but the men do hold it down. This one has you from start to finish forcing you to examine your own views and the lengths that you would go to placed in that situation. The entire movie has no sunshine. It's cold, wet and miserable. I think that's just to give the characters a little more texture though. Go see it if you want an edge of your seat thriller on a Sunday afternoon. Avoid it if you're not a fan of heavy, emotional movies that make you want hot chocolate and a puppy.
