Much Better Than I Anticipated, A Solid Action/Drama
Watch this if...you enjoy fast paced action/drama movies that have twists and turns. I was pleasantly surprised with this film and would recommend to anyone looking for a good action/drama.
Acting/Casting: 7* - The Rock doesn't say much in this movie, which is a good thing. He can do what he does best, look and be intimidating. Billy Bob plays a washed up detective, which is also a good thing. He plays a washed individual very well anytime he plays the part. The supporting cast is solid as well.
Directing/Cinematography/Technical: 7* - This movie has a real nice feel and flow, which is a credit to its directing and technical aspects. There is a great car chase scene and the cinematography throughout is nice as well.
Plot/Characters: 7* - Your typical revenge story with some twists and turns. After being released from prison, the Rock is out to get anyone that had a role in his brother's death and his near death. The extreme characters raise this score a bit as I think they really add to the story and plot.
Entertainment Value: 7* - I really enjoyed this film and found it to be surprisingly better than I expected. I plan to purchase it soon and I would recommend to anyone who inquired about it.
My Score: 7+7+7+7 = 28/4 = 7.0
