Suspend your disbelief now.

Rating: 6/10 (14 October 2014)

The premise to the story isn't anything new. Ex CIA military whatever operative trying to live a normal life but gets dragged back through the mud. Fortunately this movie has Denzel Washington. Super charismatic on screen, likable character, but at the same time looking like an average guy (no The Rock biceps). Unfortunately the premise to this movie isn't anything new. Protagonist is able to rig Home Alone style booby traps within minutes, survive situations that no real person would be able to survive, situations unfold in the exact way needed for maximum carnage. It's a movie to watch with friends on a Friday night when you can seriously suspend disbelief. It exists halfway between the all out action of a Bruce Willis Die Hard film and a Liam Neeson "I will find you and I will kill you" Taken.
Oh yeah, Zack Hemsey - "Vengeance" is an absolute gem of a track that pops up in the climactic action sequence. Disappointed it wasn't played in the end credits. Instead we were given some gratuitous Eminem rap song.
