This could have been so much better in the right hands. Mel Gibson puts in a good performance playing a grizzled, recovering alcoholic with a shady past out to protect his daughter from bunch of low lifes .

As others have said though, the father/daughter relationship does not work well, mainly because the daughter is totally unconvincing.… Expand

I've got to agree with the other negative reviews. The daughter totally spoiled it for me. I don't know how Gibson managed to act alongside her, knowing how temperamental he {allegedly} is.

This is trash. Totally inane daughter character - especially evident in the ending. Overall the movie is mediocre been-there-done-that fluff. Mel Gibson does a fine job and fits the role. But that daughter, oh my goodness...
