Plot:

Dwayne Johnson plays a man who survived being shot and left for dead along with his brother who died after the two were set up behind a bank robbery. Upon being released from prison after doing 10 hard years he sets out to serve as the judge, jury and executioner to all the persons that were behind the death of his brother. Carla Gugino plays a detective who teams with a heroin addicted cop played by Billy Bob Thornton so that they can try to stop the constant killings brought on by the avenging ex-con and before he encounters a showdown with the relentless hired killer who is sent to wrap up all loose ends from the earlier robbery.

Reel Talk:

This is not the best action movie, but it is entertaining. Outside of some corny dialog, the action is decent along with your typical predictable outcomes. After a brief stint doing some family films for Disney, it is good to see Johnson returning to some hard core action movies. And well I guess it’s just good to see Thornton doing anything theses days. So if you’re an action junkie who likes fast cars, brawls and shoot outs, this is definitely a film to catch.
