POSITIVES
Solid premise for a dark and gritty subject matter in this dramatic crime thriller.
Narrative is generally interesting in that it’s compelling enough to see how they conclude this story, what with all the different parallel plot threads and characters that it juggles with.
Besides Liam Neeson always entertaining as a badass, the rest of the cast is good too, from Guy Pearce, Taj Atwal, Harold Torres, Ray Stevenson, to Monica Bellucci.
Several of the action scenes, the cat and mouse sequences, to the part that will make John Rambo proud are entertaining to watch.
While the story’s thematic commentary is pretty cynical, I think they are absolutely important to think about.
NEGATIVES
It’s a decently standard plot that is kinda middle-of-the-road and doesn’t exactly go above and beyond as a movie.
This story takes a while to really get going. Don’t be too impatient now.
Several of the subject matters addressed might be too triggering for some people.
Conclusion may not be as satisfying as some might want it to be.
As a movie with this production value when considering today’s standards, it seems like there are TV show dramas with more ambition and budget.
