Dorathen Better Late Then Never
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Mohamed Abdalla This movie is about an ordinary american family that faced the loss of one of its members by a member of a gang as a ritual to join the gang squad.During the movie you will see dark moments of how each member of the family reacted to the loss, the mother who did the least reaction and tried to get involved with home arrangements and going back with memory by watching home made videos, the brother who showed much response as he was closer to the lost brother, finally the father who saw that revenge by his own hands is the only way to equity.The movie has really dark dramatic sad moments and the director added to it by showing that on the faces of each character so closely and declaring it by the scenes of the brother which will really touch something in your heart.Finally, it's a drama, action and thriller movie with adequate amount of three of them, the moving between the events is really smooth and you will be entertained by the amount of killing with different methods.
Christopher Shobris So, its Taken with Kevin Bacon. Except this was first, why didn't this become a hit? No cool catchphrase? Maybe. But this film is not as bad as people say. Kevin Bacon gives another respected performance, and yet the effort was not recognized as it should have been. Certainly this film has its problems, but overall, it is enjoyable. Again, Kevin Bacon is the reason. Director James Wan displays his talent in a different manner than in his typical horror realm, as this action thriller does surprise, and delight. Of course the always brilliant John Goodman is always a great site to see. However, the problem I do see that may keep it from being a great film, is the messy script. The tone is off, as it doesn't know what it wants to be. And sets as your typical shooter. But it does pack some surprises, and I think the 20% on RT is unjustified. Take what you will from it, and maybe it will surprise you. Don't always listen to RT.
Welshrat I don't know why I keep coming back to this film but I love it. I watch it at least once a year. Kevin Bacon is brilliant i wish he wasn't known for EE adverts in the UK. The way he transforms in such a relatable way in this film never fails to move me. I cant believe how wrong Metacritic gets this film . If your hesitating in watching just do it.
funstuf hmm I see the comment section is back? well done IMDb! I thought this movie was non-stop action violence and worth the time to watch! Love Kevin Bacon as I enjoy most of his movies! I especially like him when he is a bad guy like River Wild or something or Invisible man, but he is a versatile actor, message should be be careful as it is sometimes better to turn the other cheek rather than seek revenge!
