This is awful, and someone spent money on it. While technically proficient, this is so much a lesser movie than Rambo, than Wick, than half a dozen similar revenge-movies from the 80s and 90s. It is cold, almost clinical in its "I am grim and dark"-ness, with no heart, overacted and underproduced. The central cast is weak, with very littel screen presence (physical size is not enough), and while Peter and Eric do their best this is really not their show. It is horribly written, dialogue-wise, and sappy, incoherent and poor. I would ask you to stay away from this.
