I thought this was a excellent movie and I loved the way the bad guys got what they deserved. Denzel Washington was great.
Did not enjoy this movie for the extreme violence and bloodshed which was way over the top. The other reason was for the language -- the F bomb does not add anything and iIs it really necessary to use it five or six times in a sentence. This movie should have been rated R.
I thought this movie was pretty good. Took it's time developing the characters in the beginning rather than just jumping into action and revenge killings. In some ways it reminded me of another Denzel movie, Man on Fire, except the directing was a little less 'jumpy' in this one. And, like all the other reviewers already said, Denzel is great in this role...so likeable and yet so deadly!
First, it should have been rated 18 A for content & violence. Second, the violence was more than needed. Didn't enjoy it much for these reasons, which weren't indicated through trailer etc.
Great entertaining movie, exactly what I wanna see on the big screen. Tons of action!
I loved this movie it was amazing! Denzel is such an amazing actor and I can't say anything more!
It was a very action packed movie loved it! A little slow in the beginning but it made up for it through out the movie denzel Washington is a very good actor in this movie. Definitely a must see and I would even watch it again!
My man! Denzel Washington is my man!! Love him in this movie :)
It was OK. First half of the movie we super slow, then there's some action but the lighting in the film is so dark you can't even see what Denzel is doing to bring the "bad guys" down. Just a lot of sound effects of breaking bones rather than getting to see the action/choreography. Nothing special.
It's slow to start, but once the action scenes start up, they don't stop until the bitter end. Excellent movie with a great story and captivating cast. Definitely a must see!
