First it was a drama about a man dealing with the aftermath of shooting a home invader and then being stalked by his ex-con father, then it was a conspiracy movie about corrupt cops, and finally it ended as a revenge flick where these 3 random men become vigilantes and take down a gang of women-killers.

DEAR MODS: PLZ REDUCE MY POSTING QUOTA. 30 MIN IS WAY TOO MUCH.
Plus 1 hardine... I was thinking did the other movie end and I am watching another one now... just kidding but your post is spot on. I still enjoyed it.
shareYes. I was thinking that when we see him watching the snuff video. I was thinking, holy crap, where the hell did this come from?
Yeah the movie took a very intense turn after they watched "batting practice #16".
Prior to that part, I was paying attention to the movie while playing with my phone. After that part, I put the phone down.
I actually really loved the changes.
Great movie
Yeah, it’s dumb.
But if it had stayed with the stalker premise, I still would have left soon.
Nowhere to go but cliché, and they covered them all — right down to the one-note bad guy with magical powers to walk right past trained cops and disappear. Though we’ve seen this in many thrillers for a good part of a century, this would simply never happen in real life. A guy that hell-bent on killing no matter who sees it will get caught — 100%. And most likely before anyone gets shot.
Add in round-the-clock police protection — the real kind you can’t get past,— and an ordinary crook with no magic and it only ends one way, and soon.
The twist was unexpected and interesting at first, but as with most thrillers, ultimately becomes preposterous, leaving any hint of reality on the blood-stained floor. And then, of course, the final shootout. Where the bad guys die, but not before getting in some good licks of their own. Cuz, yeah ... how else you gonna end it?
