Edge of my seat the whole movie

Rating: 8/10 (1 February 2009)

This movie completely lived up to it's genre. Kept me on the edge of my seat for the whole movie and wasn't predictable.
The characters were developed sufficiently so you empathized and understood what drove them. The action scenes (almost non-stop) were very fresh; the stunts performed were quite original and you never noticed any switches to any "stunt doubles". For an old retiree he sure knew how to handle himself.
You really feel the main character is a complete hero as well as what every dad would want to be in a similar situation - completely in the right although some of his methods could have been defined as unethical (a little revenge mixed with the righteousness of it all).
The relationships between the characters was also quite believable.
Highly recommended.
