Story was good, the suspense was there, then the twist. However the ending was rather a big let down than anything. I'm sure many will feel the same when the credits roll

Quite disturbing ending for this unusual story. Could this happen in real life? Even temporary insanity caused by extreme grief wouldn't explain the very last scene. I expected a different ending.

A slow burn and atmospheric movie, it is truly led by the lead actor José Coronado who plays the dutiful father, stoic and a man of few words, however, as the movie progresses we see layers to him, a man on the edge trying to balance. He has come face to face with violence within him spurred on by a violent act done to his son. He begins his journey trying to understand what happened, but by the end he does not care he needs to avenge his son who can no longer run with him or speak to him. The bond between father and son is captured on screen, in contrast to his distant daughter who in her own way is trying to do the right thing but then doing the right thing in this movie means choosing a side. The ending is a question in itself, what does vigilante justice really amount to, it is a matter of perspective is it not? Through the looking glass as they say. It is worth a viewing, only for the brilliant acting by José Coronado, it is sad to see the rest of the supporting cast could not match up to his on screen presence aside from perhaps the daughter acted by Asia Ortega who did not have much dialogue either, perhaps intentional.

You don't have to have kids of your own, to at least slightly comprehend what parents go through when it comes to raising children and then facing things that happen to them. And this really gets your blood boiling. You can empathize with the father to a certain degree.

But this is not as clear cut as it seems and we all know that you should not take justice into your own hands. And then there is the end, which as at least one other revewier has stated will leave you with a very bitter after taste. At least that's how it should be. The "excuse" is not enough to explain the behaviour - how decent are you? Can you overlook this and still "enjoy" the movie? Or rather look upon it with a good feeling? It is tough for sure ... and it's a grim movie overall ...

As a father having a son, watched the movie in horror. Lead actor, the father, is extremely successful. Daily bad news from the society on the radio news and a happy life of a doc portrayed, but you can't keep away from the filth as you're living in a filthy environment. It happens. Things go messy if everyone imposes his own justice. Script is poor especially on scenes required police interaction. A father's unbearable agony, for me, this is movie's ultimate success.
