Geriatric thriller .. Lol

Well I wouldn't call this a riveting thriller that I was promised in the synopsis OnDemand lol. I found that what could have been a really good premise , and a great lead actor in Plummer wasted in a washed down script as well as plot. I found it rather funny (although the subject is a serious one) because it was this old guy (Plummer) sticking up people that were on a kill list that had nothing to do with the killing of his family. It's certainly a geriatric thriller for the ages as I've never seen anything quite like it. There wasn't a character that mattered under 75 I don't think lol. It certainly doesn't deserve such a high rating, but what does these days on IMDb.

THERES NO ROOM IN MY CIRCUS TENT FOR YOU !!!!

Of course, it can't be a thriller with anyone older than Ryan Gosseling or Leo DiCaprio. You are quite a testament for your age group and...intelligence but what more can we expect from today's IMDb users...

mTopomax, ohhhh, just wait. The OP will get older and appreciate the "old" actors. I remember when I was a teenager and thought 40 was old. Now? Ha! That's almost a spring chicken! LOL!

By the way, your user name is the same as this migraine medication I used to take. I'm glad I don't have to take it anymore.

Yeah I remember when I thought 30 and 40 were old, and it seemed like a flash and suddenly I am over 40. Life is such a short, crazy and twisted ride. All one can hope for is having enough tickets to make it to the end of the ride with a reasonable amount of health.

"lol" all you want

Props to Plummer and Norris.

The scenes between Zev and the younger Kurlander was one of the most intense film sequences I have seen in a while. Those were brilliantly acted and directed, even more so because they start off calm and friendly, but you know where it is going.....

I actually felt physically agitated myself. It is rare for me to feel that unless I am watching live theatre.

As an animal lover, I have to say the dog also deserves credit. I am sure the vicious barking was added later, but Eva sold it.

"Props to Plummer and Norris."

I wholeheartedly agree with that, and with your review!
