A solid action flick, Denzel and cast deliver.

A sleeper hit if you've got an itch that only an action flick can scratch, this film was definitely not on the radar, but well worth the time. I reckon this picture will find a place on your shelf right next to 'shoot 'em up' as it carries the same sort of vibe. A retired killer with a heart of gold who, through the course of his life has somehow acquired insane killing skills, develops a soft spot for a damsel in distress and kills his way through 2 heavy hours of film. Decent pacing and acting good enough to keep the audience engaged, and for the most part a fairly decent job keeping me from rolling my eyes with any inane or too-over-the-top action moments. Just a warning, lots of folks die in this flick and in some pretty painful ways.
