Entertaining, but shallow

Rating: 5/10 (15 December 2014)

This is a vigilante movie. A man with a dark, mysterious past, lives an ordinary life, until something wakes his older self and he starts eliminating bad guys.
The premise is old and overused and there are hardly any innovations in this movie. However, it is very well made. Nicely acted, Denzel is convincing at his role and the supporting cast play their parts very nicely. Nice direction, nice soundtrack and a decent finale. No upsets, twists or surprises - No disappointments, letdowns or frustration whatsoever. It is pretty violent for children and some women were "annoyed" by the brutality of some of the killings, but it won't give you nightmares.
Overall I was entertained by this movie, fans of the genre will be pleased.
