Not to be a negative nelly, but the movie was a disappointment. After all the buzz and good word of mouth it was getting it was a surprise that the movie ended being rather lackluster, boring and mediocre. A lot of scenes seem overly (melo)dramatic or just pointless altogether. The acting : not especially good. In retrospect it's hard to see what all the noise was about, but I guess it was them selling it as a "true story".

Anyways I would recommend watching 'Man on Fire' or 'Taken' if you are in the market for something similar, but largely superior.
