Pretty good (spoilers)


This movie is solid. The setup is the butcher has two lives (that he keeps separate) and in his family life, he’s taking his daughter to a concert. Unbeknownst to him, his wife followed him one night and found a receipt for the concert. So she alerted the FBI, they set up a trap and the movie happens.

Hartnett is solid as an actor. He’s also good with the split personality. I thought the supporting cast were all good and lots of tension was built.

I didn’t like how easily he got out of certain scenarios. That was just too contrived. Like the part where he gets out of the neighbors house and takes the limo away. And then later when he changes in the limo in record time. And of course the bike spoke that he puts up his sleeve and picks the lock. Just too much.

I wish there was more backstory and more what did it matter about his daughter having beef with the other girls? It had no effect on the story.

Overall it was entertaining but probably a 7/10 at best.

Yeah, I also didn't get the stuff with the daughter. My guess is that this plot detail is just a red herring?

the daughter vs. girls thing was probably to confuse the viewer a little, but in my estimation, was more to show he was trying to be a good father to her, even though he was a killer.
