This was actually a really good film! The story was written, just right! I didn’t rush and do anything, it built up the characters and had the perfect plot twist. Whenever you thought you knew a character, the film would show you otherwise!

Viggo is a very physical actor. I remember him in "28 Days" as a MLB pitcher in rehab, and he can sure throw a pitch.

This was a great film, much better than i was expecting at the time... If you're a fan of movies like Taken, John Wick & Nobody then this film is for you. It follows a similar template, but delivers a far more grounded and realistic story and characters that are each consistently intriguing and captivating throughout. It's a shame this film was released prior to the rise in revenge movies as it missed the recognition it deserved... On the other hand however, I'm grateful they never ruined it by forcing it into a franchise, too

"Weak" is not the word I would use to describe Tom/Joey. More like mild-mannered, unassuming, but definitely not weak. lol

Viggo Mortesen playing Tom is awesome 😎. Just like his performance as Aragon in The Lord of The Rings Trilogy
