Arnold may have just reinvented his career yet again. Go to Full Review
Anthony Lane The New Yorker 04/10/2017
Sadly, as the characters converge, the rest of the movie loses force; it slackens and then rushes, and the time frames feel out of joint. Go to Full Review
Simran Hans Observer (UK) 04/09/2017
2/5
Helped along by a gloomy, oppressive score, it neither thoughtfully examines themes of trauma, guilt and grief nor moves with any sort of haste to its eventual, obvious, revenge-thriller conclusion, despite its short 90-minute running time. Go to Full Review

...a well-intentioned misfire that squanders the first-class work of its charismatic stars. Go to Full Review
Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 04/04/2022
1/4
If the drama evokes any emotion at all, it's frustration that, aside from McNairy's turn, the experience remains incapable of evoking any genuine emotion. Go to Full Review

3.5/4.0
To say that Schwarzenegger is exceptional here feels somewhat an understatement. Go to Full Review

James L @Jimmy065 4d I didn't think it was too bad overall. Great to see Arnie having a go at a dramatic role. See more 650 B 06/10/2024 Hard to see a dramatic Arnold movie without some kind of a revenge story behind it.....was a decent story, but slow and dull See more Steve D 11/02/2023 Appropriately somber but not enough to it. See more Joshua W 07/22/2023 This was a movie that I didn't find one thing to say good about it. I didn't personally "hate" things in the movie, but it just left me wishing I had that time back to watch something... almost anything else. It was a true waste of time. See more Pawel Z 05/20/2023 Reviewers: William O and J G should not watch any movies and stick to the fabulous formula of Fast and Furious 79 or something. And try to fly somewhere instead of sitting on the couch. slow off-peak movie having some great performances for Arnold. See more Pere D 05/12/2023 A very believable and disturbing movie. The actors and writing is very good. It is easy to imagine the awfulness of this situation. Schwarzenegger is excellent. See more Read all reviews
