My recommendation for this one was:
"What's with movies that glorify criminal activity? Maybe it's just the notion that the average man, when pushed to the brink, can emerge as an action hero and save the world. I guess it helps when the average man is an ex-criminal and is a lethal fighter.
If there was a video store in my neighbourhood, I may have rented this one. If I come across it on-line, I might watch it."
The wife and I tried to see this one sometime in March. It was sold out and we ended up seeing War Horse (please see VIEWED: War Horse).
Was it worth the wait? Not in the least. Firstly, every character in this film was either a criminal, an accessory to a crime, or an asshole. And, while it was well acted for what it was, this film wasted acting talent on an unoriginal, mediocre story. Ribisi, Wahlberg, Beckinsale, Foster! Give your heads a shake. You guys are better than this.
This movie was so dull and predictable that, even the one or two unexpected moments were met with yawns and eyes rolling.
