Blobbo X @Blobbo 11/23/2024 Impossible to like main character Preston. (Man, you'[ve got to learn to let it go!) Well acted time-passer - but not satisfying. See more bill t @Spuzz 12/28/2017 just an okay War actioner about a coder who witnesses the murder of his wife by a hit-and-run, and his determination to get revenge on those people. It's interesting that the hero does catch the murderer, but then you realize that the film is just half over... So what happens now? It does turn on a pretty strange plot detour, and it ends unsatisfactorily. No Heroes here folks. Not really worth your time. See more 06/19/2011 Solid revenge drama with a good performance in the lead by Robert Preston. See more 10/25/2008 good stuff early brit noir See more Read all reviews
