The Good, the bad and the Ugly

Rating: 6/10 (17 December 2014)

This Movie has it all,...
The Good: Denzel Whashington, Great Presents, just a few more Lines and a slower Backstory would have been nice. He is Doing a Great Job.
The Sound is Great too, mix well with the Style of that film.
The Filming was very good too. Very Stylish, cool almost understated, the used CGI blend in well isn't to much overstated. This Aspect was done right.
***LITTLE SPOILERS AHEAD (i keep em down i promise)*** The Bad: The Storyline. It doesn't make any sense why after he decided to start his war also a lot of other people, not related to the Mob, crossing his path in a bloody way. Also Nobody seems to bother afterward, he still can visit his old café, living in the same neighborhood, nobody specially not the Police cares much. Also the Action of the Russian Mobster who came to investigate doesn't make any sense. All his actions where for no reason and no purpose.
Also the jumps and almost fast tracks of short story lines made no sense. Less would have been more. More slow calm backstory about his personality and life, less small action plot and more logic would have been appreciated.
Also the complete absence how he is doing his secret spy work isn't really satisfying. He is working like a ghost not only to the enemy but also the the audience. This give the movie a certain character but sadly it was replaced by dull action sequences.
The Ugly: The fighting scenes (some of them). Its laughable how those Mobster with their 50k Equipment even go into a fight, they acted like some lemmings (in the game) not like some ex military mobster muscles.
ANd why again was the Mobster hunting the security guard? ***MORE SPOILERS ***
Also if someone get shot in his shoulder, you can really fight with it after, you can simply burn it to close it and keep going, there are broken bones, there is a projectile, that he is fixing himself under a shelf while ex-speznatz with nightvision looking for him .. well sorry that was too much.
The Worst action sequence where that nail pistol can shoot over 20 yards, penetrate (didn't he have a bullet resistant west?) a hole body and go trough.
Bottom Line: This Movie has its Moments and is often beautiful to watch but again and again bad writers ruined it. There would have been potential but it wasn't used. Its still very good watchable only for Dencel himself.
