The actor’s charisma keeps the formulaic movie afloat, while director Collins displays a flair for action scenes.

2/5

Gibson's lingering charisma isn't enough to inject any psychology into a painfully underdeveloped character; by the end, you still won't know a jot about Bowdrie or his life beyond his sheer macho competence.

2/5

There's not much that's new or fresh in this creaky story of innocents getting inadvertently mixed up with criminals, and it's all made worse by the flat, dull characters and a general cluelessness.

Mel Gibson puts forth an effort in this pedestrian low-budget crime thriller that hardly seems worth the trouble.

Someone get Gibson to a chiropractor because his back must hurt from carrying this movie.

A solid Gibson gives a sturdy foundation to the narrative, but his younger co-stars are just as good.

Now I know how Arabs feel when they see themselves represented on TV. Oliver Trevena is an Englishman pretending to be an Irish man and his accent is appalling. Good father/ daughter movie all the same

Very enjoyable , it’s a classic hero story. Mel was great and over all the suspense and character building was very good.

It is a good movie. The average quality of the streaming services now is crap so this one stands out easily; Mel with his fantastic performance as ever leads any movie easily without any other big stars on it. It is a comfort plot, some action, some nature, some good values, justice, happy ending. Love it.

I thought it was decent. Feels like one of Liam's flicks. Gibson does a good job in it though, and an entertaining dad vs mafia story.
