Yay, a gritty revenge flick that isn't Taken!
Sure, it's all condensed and the plot twists get flattened out by the film's pace, but the violence? And the killings? Boy, they're well done - a woman next to me actually jumped up and screamed her face off 9 minutes in.
State of Play was perhaps more intelligent, but the scenes between Gibson and Winstone are really well written; better than anything Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck could've delivered.
And not so keen on the sappy ending/dead daughter flashbacks, but hey, it's Mel Gibson carrying a gun. What more do you need?
