BrianSez's Review

Created Dec 19, 2008 10:20PM PST • Edited Dec 19, 2008 10:22PM PST

  1. Quality
  2. OK 2.5

    Denzel does a reasonable job as a bad-guy-you-want-to-root-for ex assassin on a vigilante mission. The movie drags on too long, but has its moments as a tug at your heart-strings human interest story as well as a macho take no prisoners action film.

  3. Good 3.0

    Denzel fits well into the vigilante tough guy role. Christopher Walken, always a favorite, plays the likeable mentor. Dakota Fanning acts much older than her age, but is somehow believable anyway, and her interaction with Denzel exhibited a chemistry that also made you believe that a 10 year old could touch the heart of a salty ex criminal.

  4. Male Stars Good 3.0
  5. Female Stars Good 3.0
  6. Female Costars Good 3.0
  7. Male Costars Good 3.0
  8. Barely OK 2.0

    The movie Spends nearly and hour building the relationship between Dakota and Denzel, and it was an hour well spent. Not only was that engaging by itself, but by the time the real action starts happening, you are now much more emotionally involved in the outcome and will find yourself rivited to what ensues. The remainder of the movie higlights Snipe’s vigilantism, which admitedely has you rooting for him, but I feel moves too slowly.

  9. Direction Barely OK 2.0
  10. Play Barely OK 2.0
  11. Music Barely OK 2.0
  12. Visuals Barely OK 2.0
  13. Content
  14. Sordid 3.1

    Starts off mild but finishes with a surprising amount of violence from the “good guys.”

  15. Sex Erotic 3.1
  16. Violence Brutal 3.1
  17. Rudeness Profane 3.1
  18. Surreal 2.8
  19. Circumstantial Surreal 2.8
  20. Biological Surreal 2.8
  21. Physical Surreal 2.8
