Gritty revenge movie that works on the shoulders of its lead performer. Any film with a hero (I use that term very loosely) that gets his ass kicked every 5 minutes is a welcome change from the stake-free glossy violence of most mainstream cinema. Or at least, it would have been if half of these ass-kickings didn't take place in flashbacks, that by the nature of time, we know he already made it through.
Still a very palatable Ozzie flick for those who have the stomach.
Final rating:★★★ - I personally recommend you give it a go.
