    With all the great reviews this film received, I was really looking forward to it. I couldn't believe how bad it was. It was completely unrealistic and contrived...completely!

    One of the most contrived films I have ever seen. Almost none of the plot points were the least bit honest. I can't believe that any thinking critic could have given this a decent review.

    Gets too caught up in its escalating violence and strained-to-bursting moral subtexts. It's the blood of souls drenching the screen, and it's a hideous sight to behold.

    What these guys do for revenge during one hellish day in the Big Apple makes the panic room look like Barney's toy box. The film itself goes off the deep end way before the end credits.

    Rarely have I seen a film so willing to champion the fallibility of the human heart.
