Disturbingly bad script both conceptually and technically

Rating: 1/10 (20 October 2012)

I was very glad to see a large number of well written negative reviews about this really bad movie.
After watching this movie and seeing a very good actor play a scene where the hero tortures someone to death (leaves the room after turning the electricity on) and watching scene after scene of gratuitous violence played out in Segal or Stallone-like comic book style, I had to visit IMDb to see what the reviews were.
I like good action movies (Bourne series, for example). Those good movies have nothing to do with this movie.
Lesson: When evaluating IMDb movie reviews, start with the "I hated it" reviews and see if they make sense. In this case they mostly did. So I have nothing to add other than to emphasize how having the "good" guy torture someone to death just strikes me as bizarre. Shoot the bastard, OK? I almost turned off the movie (I had rented) after that scene but decided to continue watching, perhaps as a lesson to self to ask myself what is it about comic-book like violence that draws me, draws all of us, to some movie plots.
Yes, the age old good defeats evil theme can work. It did not in this case. At all.
