Ok, so as you can see the reviews and ratings are all over the place on this one. I save the 1* ratings/reviews for the truly bad stinkers out there. As in people who can't and shouldn't act and never should've been cast and movies that are so bad they never should've been made, let alone put out for the public to see.

That being said, this is not one of those movies. It has Jason Mamoa in it for crying out loud! The actors and acting were just fine and they did a good job. What falls short is the script, and that's not the actors fault. They can only work with what they're given to work with. If you give the greatest sculptor in the world trash to work with, he can only create more trash.

The plot was not so bad either it was just executed very, very poorly. Big pharma pulls a certain medication needed to keep his wife alive from cancer and she dies cause of it. Any man would go off the deep end. That being said, like I said the story is what's crap. It's been done before and done way better. The twist was just lazy and unimaginable. Because it was lazy and dull it then caused the rest of the movie to be crappy.

The action and fight scenes are so unbelievable it just takes you out of the movie and ruins it all together. It was too long too. Right when it felt it should've ended, surprise slap in the face and 20 more mins of garbage.

If you like action and can leave your brain turned off and like Jason Mamoa then check it out, maybe you'll like it. I on the other hand can't turn my brain off when the movie is presented to me as being, or supposed to be realistic and non realistic things happen throughout the entire movie.

Do yourself a huge favor and do not ignore the bad reviews here!

Checking your brain cells at the door can go only so far in watching a movie as preposterous as this one. The "plot twist" in the third act MIGHT otherwise be clever if it were not for all the illogical (and impossible) convolutions and contrivances throughout the movie. Then when that plot twist smacks you in the face ... and you look back and put it in context with one ludicrous scene after another that you already watched -- you want to grab the screenwriter by the scruff of the neck and demand that he/she never, ever, EVER write anything ever again!

I really WANTED to like this movie. From what I've heard about Jason Momoa offscreen, he's supposed to be a pretty good guy. Plus, I'm a Pittsburgh kid, born & raised. The glamour shots of my city were nice to watch -- until it was all sodomized by this inane script!

There are many revenge based movies, comparing this one with other classics like the Fugitive or the US Marshals is a little uncalled for.

Jason Momoa has carried out a good role, out of the super hero package he is.

But the twist in the movie and role played by Isabela Merced, simply too good. A nice watch over Netflix for sure over the weekend.

As for the other users, posting crap about this movie, as if there are many options these days or for the last two years now to choose from.

It had some good action scenes, but the story felt too bland and dragged out. Momoa and Merced had great chemistry as dad and daughter, but her as an action character taking out big guys was laughable. The twist was decent, but took too long to get there, and I think wasn't really needed as a trade off to see Momoa keep kicking @ss. The 109 mins felt much long with too much filler and not enough substance, as well as some slow and dragged out scenes. Still, a decent watch if you're a Momoa fan.

Pretty standard revenge thriller with surprising twist that most audience will complain about. Though felt bland at times, Brian Andrew Mendoza still offered some nice action scenes over political and pharmaceutical issues. Momoa & Merced together made a good passing time.
