Critic Reviews

Variety - Robert Koehler

Diesel makes a violent bid to align himself with the Clint Eastwood-Charles Bronson-Steve McQueen tradition, but he lacks the charisma, emotional strength and humor to do so. Read full review

Salon - Jeff Stark

There's not a single moment when you wonder what might happen next or when the spectacle simply leaps off the screen. You've seen it all before. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Liam Lacey

A paint-by-numbers vigilante movie with the usual rogue cop, murdered wife and trail of vengeance. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine - Maitland McDonagh

The film works best when it's sticking to the guns and poses conventions of macho crime pictures. When it reaches for emotional resonance, the results range from unconvincing to ludicrous. Read full review

New York Post - Megan Lehmann

Violent and unoriginal actioner. Read full review

Dallas Observer - Luke Y. Thompson

Standard revenge shenanigans ensue, with more boo-hoo numbers from Vin, who ain't up to it -- he hasn't been this lame since, uh, ever. Read full review

Seattle Post-Intelligencer - William Arnold

There's a huge subplot that makes absolutely no sense at all and, in the end, the only thing the movie has going for it is Diesel's Neanderthal charm. Read full review

This movie was great, I can't imagine how anyone is giving it a 0. I loved this movie. The premise was great and the entire movie kept me entertained. This is a very under rated movie that deserves much more credit.

Bem melhor, do que achei na primeira vez que assisti, com um grande "Twist" Reviravolta no final, Timothy Olyphant é genial como sempre e muito engraçado, Geno Silva É assustador e ao mesmo tempo carismático, Larenz Tate está ótimo como colega do Vin Diesel, Juan Fernández de AlarconBem melhor, do que achei na primeira vez que assisti, com um grande "Twist" Reviravolta no final, Timothy Olyphant é genial como sempre e muito engraçado, Geno Silva É assustador e ao mesmo tempo carismático, Larenz Tate está ótimo como colega do Vin Diesel, Juan Fernández de Alarcon realmente está de dar medo, Jeff Kober está ótimo e até o Vin Diesel está bem.

Excelente suspense com ótimas cenas de ação, F Gary Gray Dirige Com magestria esse filme muito bom!!!… Expand

If movies were role models for a motherless and fatherless society lacking in too many ways to list, this would be a bad movie. Little Joey just wants to be superman. He wants your attention and admiration. He wants to be important and accepted. He is looking in all the wrong places so haveIf movies were role models for a motherless and fatherless society lacking in too many ways to list, this would be a bad movie. Little Joey just wants to be superman. He wants your attention and admiration. He wants to be important and accepted. He is looking in all the wrong places so have a beer and peep into his private life for a little fun without getting your hands dirty at his expense. I have seen much worse but have seen better from VD. Cops and the government don't need any more encouragement to be in your business. Getting them out is the challenge if possible. I didn't fall asleep. I remember what happened. It brought me in and got me involved even if the story line is roughly familiar. Not much new here but not bad.… Expand
