Story: Phil Broker is a former DEA agent who has gone through a crisis after his action against a biker gang went horribly wrong and it cost the life of his boss' son. He is recently widowed and is left with a 9-years-old daughter, Maddy. He decides to quit the turbulent and demanding life of thrill for Maddy's sake and retires to a small town. His daughter fights off a boy who was bullying her at school and this sets in motion a round of events that end in his direct confrontation with the local Meth drug lord. His past history with the biker gang also enters the arena, making matters more complex. But he has a mission in his mind to protect his daughter and he is ready to pay any cost that it demands.
Likes : Now you'd expect & hear for critic's is the typical reviews for this kind of movie "it's just another mindless action film" or "Statham can't act well this film completely prove these people wrong, because there is one thing you can say about Statham film's he doesn't disappoint his fan's.
Their is something about Jason Statham acting that appeal to most people I think it the bad ass attitude he has but he can also back that up as well as he come across as a guy you really don't wont to piss off or get in to a fight with which make his film brilliant to watch as he play a ex undercover dea agent Phil Broker who is someone you just don't mess with as his character seriously kick some ass with style.
Through out this film from start to finish the action come thick & fast but it balanced with emotional scene & slow moment, but this is pretty must an intense film to watch. Some People may think when they hear the name James Franco, normal cant take him seriously in a film because he has a some what comical acting to him but seeing him as a villain was interesting to see in a movie and he does a good job with it to has he plays a pretty bad ass meth dealer. playing his sister Kate Bosworth was very believable as a crazed meth head with an attitude .
Izabela Vidovic who play Phil's daughter Maddy Broker which was brilliant acting role for her as she showed a believe family unit, she as a bright future in the film industry. i will say though although violent the fight scene we're awesome & brutal this is where Statham is at his best because the way he fights is fast the guys that attack him have no chance what so ever but these scene are no quick knock out his character seriously goes to ton on them, their just left bleeding & broken on the floor.Winona Ryder still showing how brilliant of actress she is by playing a meth deal's girlfriend who play a believeable meth head as well
As most action film go this mixed with thriller element & action really works for the this film, if you like Statham film this is one of his best today I recommend you go see this film or buy it on DvD because it just doesn't disappoint.
It has all the element of action & thriller that make a film worth working I really enjoyed this film although the certification should of been an 18 cert this film is still worth watching with a pretty sold cast that make up for a well round film.
