Superfluous, over the top action movies are usually never that good. Trust me when I say this one is an exception. It is all those things that an extravagant action movie is. Where it adds a little more is it's driven by an intriguing story and a legendary Mel Gibson accompanied by an endearing Erin Moriarty. From top-notch direction to professional writing everything is well polished here and a must-watch for the action movie lovers. Even with the conspicuous style of storytelling the film never gets ahead of itself and cares for its audience's recreation more than movies of this genre typically does.
Highs: The ambiance sets a certain high standard from the get-go and never drops that level. Characters are well portrayed and everything feels crisp and clear. Script and screenplay walk hand in hand and you never feel lost. Action scenes are exceptionally well choreographed.
Lows: Story is not the biggest revelation and some scenes are predictable. The second half begs for some twists but the plot never delivers.
Rating: 5 *****
