      Audience Member How far would an emotionally troubled young man go to mete out the justice he feels is necessary in an endlessly corrupt world filled with manipulative and aggressive bullies? How warped would his view on the world be if his own father might have been complicit in the murder of his mother? This isn't a super-hero movie, although it is. The young man in the movie is not invincible, he is not "more informed" than others and he has no adherence to laws or social norms to contain his fury. He is thoughtful, empathetic and confused…and his inner rage is easy to let loose on the true bullies in this world. He has dedicated his entire existence to the tools needed to beat criminals into the bloody pulp we all think they deserve. A great soundtrack envelops this film, and the main character embodies the rage we all feel when justice seems improperly meted out. I love this movie. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved this movie. I don't know why the "critics" had such bad things to say. I think the ending is great. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Low budget but a great thriller. Batman without the money! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member The ending is without doubt the best ending i have ever seen (spoiler) The movie could have been better but the ending was jaw dropping! If u did not pay attention you wouldnt have noticed "triceleron" an untraceable poision that shawn had put onto the envelope ✉️ I cant get over it Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review laurie s It's okay, not super but okay. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review corkball Boy Wonder sees his mom brutally murdered, so the cops let him use their computers and he takes steroids to exact revenge. Yeah the plot is recycled from lots of other vigilante movies, including the subplot with the caring cop that is hunting him down. That part has been done better elsewhere. What is exceptional here is the tone and atmosphere. The almost excessively slow burn builds and builds until almost an overly quick ending. Definitely a stronger movie than you would guess from the trailer. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Kirk Honeycutt Hollywood Reporter An intriguing, low-budget look at a young vigilante whose "heroism" comes with much moral ambivalence. Nov 17, 2011 Full Review J. R. Jones Chicago Reader Sometimes I think vigilante dramas would be more tolerable if they were pure violent payback, without all the moral grandstanding about our flawed criminal justice system. Oct 27, 2011 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times I started watching it with moderate expectations and was surprised by how quickly I was drawn in; the movie works insistently on an emotional level. Rated: 3.5/4 Oct 27, 2011 Full Review Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See A near perfect combination of grim revenge movie and dark superhero origin story. Rated: B+ Jul 11, 2020 Full Review Laura Hiros Rincón de cine ... a spectacular debut for director Michael Morrisey... [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Mar 16, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
