Excellent, a Must See
... View MoreAdmirable film.
... View MoreThe film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
... View MoreThe film may be flawed, but its message is not.
... View MoreThe only reason I signed up for IMDb was to warn people what a boring, stupid, pointless movie this is!!! Indy movies are the absolute worst!!!
... View MoreIf you are after an adrenaline-infused, white-knuckled action adventure this is NOT the film for you. The violence is quick, intermittent and often distorted in one way or another (SPOILER: In one scene we witness an assault on a building through the lens of security camera). By my estimates only about ten or so minutes of the run time are the sort of violence one might expect to receive entering a film about a hired gun who's known for his brutality. Despite this, the tension built by focusing on Joe's psychological struggle - which is explored in a tactile and often confronting manner - left me feeling like I'd just witnessed torture of a most raw and merciless kind. It was funny because when my mate asked me afterward if I 'enjoyed' the film, I just couldn't say that I did, as much I wanted to. No, this is a film that confronts you and immerses you somewhere you'd prefer not stay too long.
... View MoreWe have the usual troubled ex-military or ex-cop performing some vigilante duties for money. Lot's of flashbacks to his troubled abused youth. A stereotypical hook for this type of film genre. Tool of choice - a hammer thus a bit bloody, but little shown. The movie's plot is, unfortunately, an exploitation of a subject not to play film-making with which is the sex exploitation of young females (ironically, Amazon who backed this film in it's new venture is making money off of exploiting this topic). Interesting song choices as background used to parallel the storyline. So, with that in mind to Amazon and it's monied destruction of it's once beautiful host city I offer this song parody: Amazon paved paradise And put up building lots Don't it always seem to be You don't know what you have Till it's gone Thank you Amazon
