A poorly delivered and uninspired tale about one guy’s misguided revenge. Everything about it is just utterly ridiculous and hard to put in words.

One ordinary (or at least that’s what the promos claim) man wreaks havoc after his family is murdered by fighting the system on his own. But at the end of the day, he isn’t better than the men who killed his wife and daughter.

What can I say about this film? It was horrible from Jamie Foxx’s wrong choice of movie, to the “moral teachings” of it, to Gerard Butler’s Americanized accent, to the nice poor District Attorney running around as the city blows up, to the wrong people dying, to how everything happens outside the prison when the man responsible for it is in prison, to the system winning at the end, to…just everything about it – I hated!

Sloppy, predictable, lame excuse for an action film, quite senseless, pathetic…just plain awful and a waste of time.
