TeenzTen An action-packed slog
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
callingandi Not only badly acted and directed (how much time can be devoted to looking at one man looking pensive? A lot, it seems) but utterly irresponsible in messaging. It is not ok to go and kill a building full of people, just because you think some of them screwed you. Totally, completely and reprehensibly tone deaf to the problems of suicide, health care, gun violence and inequity...
Michael Ledo Jim (Dominic Purcell) is a security guard during the market crash. While he is losing his shirt on bad investments his wife (Erin Karpluk) has major medical complications which further exacerbates their situation, especially now that they have reached their "coverage cap limit." From the title and DVD cover we know where this is going to go. 10 minutes into the film we know who will die and even know what will trigger Jim to go into the berserker mode.Jim becomes the envy of every 99%er vigilante, yet a guy we immediately condemn for not having enough self restraint. The problem I had with the film was the sniper mode in which he killed people, with all but one person knowing why they are getting killed. There are no sit the guy in a chair and slowly torture them scenes. It takes an hour before the first person dies, and he is hit by a fast moving taxi.This makes for a fair action film rental.Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity. Fairly tame for Uwe Boll production.
jbnezl I decided to watch this film expecting some type of action thriller. Although there is some shoot 'em up action (spoiler alert I guess), the film is much more than this. The film portrays the disintegration of a man's life from stem to stern due in no small part to the financial crisis of 2008. Sure, you could take some type of neo-liberal stance and say that he was not wise and so forth, but the bottom line (no pun intended) is that he was lied to as were many others, and while he and the many (millions?) of average Joes and Janes took it on the chin during the crash, no one (or very few) of those who were responsible for this catastrophe suffered anything other than a loss of pride (perhaps). Scott-free is the term. During the film there are numerous TV news broadcasts playing in the background. Some seemed to be real footage; others may have been reproductions of original broadcasts, but they reminded us of what was happening at the time. The first hour of the film is very tense -- excellent direction and changes of camera angles and so forth. I will state that I enjoy Dominic Purcell as an actor (perfect for the part), but the supporting cast was also excellent. Not a film for a light evening (in or out).
Mehdi Taba From the beginning you can find out this movie is an another B-movie (Direct-To-DVD).Cinematography was very bad, plot wasn't good, directing was weak. Dominic Purcell did an average acting (too much "Stone face").It's an another boring vigilante revenge movie!!There was no positive feels or contents, just negativity!!! With this kinda movies you wanna stop violence and gun issues!!!!If you are a logical person so this movie just waste your time. But if you are an extreme person maybe you like it.Everything was predictable with too excessive violence.I think the only good thing about this one was showing effects of financial crisis on weak people.
