This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I actually don't understand why this movie get so negative critic. The movie stars Kevin Bacon as Nick Hume, a business man with a family that he cares about. One day, his oldest son gets killed by a gang member who proves that he is in the gang. The killer walks free (Nick doesn't like that the killer gets a mild sentence, so he don't "recognize" him in court). Nick decides then to kill his oldest son killer. Now he is haunted by the gang. Nick must now protect his family, but to what cost? This movie proves that you can't just be an anti-hero that kills all the bad guys just to rescue/avenge one of your family members and then escape unclean. This movie is depressing and have almost no comedy. The only thing that doesn't fit in the movie is that they parody (?) Taxi Drivers last scene where De Niro shoots everybody. A great scene, but too out of context (it works in Taxi Driver). This is definitely one of the best movies I've seen (I'm a big movie lover so that says a lot).… Expand

While on the surface the film may appear to be a typical revenge flick, like the author of the novel it is loosely based on, it actually shows how revenge doesn't work out.

Nick isn't an unlikable guy, he's a devoted father and a great husband but the loss of his eldest son just causes him to lose it and overlook the safety of his wife and remaining son and seek revenge and that's when things get interesting because it plays into the whole an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind, There are some corny scenes, most of them involve John Goodman. Having him play the abusive father was fine but having him sell the guns to the man who killed his youngest and admitted he'd kill the eldest, it was a bit silly.

But what was truly silly are those who saw the film then complained about the violence when it was made perfectly clear before the film was even out that the director was the same one who directed Saw. Its like seeing a Romero film and then being bothered that there are zombies in it.… Expand

Never mind the nay sayers. Watch it. Experience the anti hero moments. It's more than good vs evil. It's epitome of human needs, survival and choices.

First of all in response to Kevin, I don't know how you define "acting like a normal human being", but John Goodman's character was definitely the LEAST like it. Think about it: not only did he allow the man trying to kill his son First of all in response to Kevin, I don't know how you define "acting like a normal human being", but John Goodman's character was definitely the LEAST like it. Think about it: not only did he allow the man trying to kill his son leave, but he sold him the guns to do it!! And as for the cop showing no sympathy, Bacon's character is wanted for murder, not to mention the fact that cops probably see tearjerker stories like that more often than not. This was an incredible film that went way beyond the revenge-killing cliche by showing much deeper insight into the emotional rollercoaster that Bacon's character had to go through. As for Roy P., how can you say he uses the same look in every scene? Up until Bacon escapes from hospital, he flexes his acting range from shock to fear to determination to anguish to anger, finally ending up with the look of someone who has lost the fear of death and knows he has one purpose left. Put yourself in the character's position. How in God's name would you know what you would do in those situations, what you would be capable of. I guess this is just one of those movies like History of Violence or Eastern Promises where you either love it or you hate it.… Expand
