“An American action thriller; A story about a former special-ops operative who turns vigilante after the drive-by killing of his wife and son. His former protege, an FBI agent, tries to find his vigilante friend before the police or a maniacal mobster are able to.nThis is an old-school styled action thriller set in Salt Lake City. The central theme is, what happens if a vigilante begins to destroy all the crime lords and murderers which plague a district. How far could he go before a peopleu0026#39;s champion becomes too grey for the general publicu0026#39;?nGratuitous for its violence, nudity and sleaze scenes, the film is also poorly acted in parts with ham-fisted exposition dialogue which is delivered by the supporting players. Clearly, it is meant as a Seagal vehicle so itu0026#39;s a pity he doesnu0026#39;t speak for 47 mins. Some scenes look fake with poor exection of CGI too. Thereu0026#39;s just nothing compelling about the story and it ends up with a diabolical twist at the end.nNevertheless, the film features a terrific explosion in one scene and there is plenty of action and aikido skills on show, as you might expect. All in all, there are no characters with significant screen time to root for, as government, police, and news media are all painted in a bad light.”
