Well I kicked off the 2012 season with a dash of one of my favorite actors, Mark Wahlberg! This movie is a stereotypical, I am a reformed badboy -with a family that is now -pulled back into the life to save my family from being killed- type movie.
The only thing that it didn’t have was the eye candy factor. No real action scenes for Mark and no sexy scenes between him and Kate Beckensale. I found the lack of gratuitous sex refreshing but the rest of the story was so lack luster and a little flat that the sexual element may have actually helped the movie a bit.
Over all it was well put together and a good thriller. It just frankly could have been better. Really fantastic cast and they just weren’t used to their full potential. I would see this one on HBO and skip the theater version.
