Did you know that Brian Cox was in Red (2007), and also in Red (2010)? It's sort of like how Sly was in Rambo, and Rambo, and Rambo, and Rambo. Ya heard?
I definitely wanted this to be better. What a great idea for a plot...and in the end, it was actually pretty good. Or rather only sort of okay - I feel like they left so much movie plot goodness off this one. A bit slow at parts if you will. I would love to be able to recommend this flick to a lad of mine, to say, "hey there average friend, here is a movie you've never heard of, but it's actually fantastic! It's about a guy who basically has nothing in life. He just likes to fish and hang with his good ol' dog. No more family or wife, no more nothing but the long lasting life of a guy who wastes his days fishing, sleeping and reading the paper. But then friend, guess what? It turns EVIL!!! 3 teenagers show up while the old man is fishing and totally blast the good ol' pup in the hizead with a shotty. The man's life is over...his only friend is now dead. What's he got left to live for? Revenge? You got it!" Then you tell your average friend the truth about the middle of the movie. You say, "oops, the movie then gets super slow...despite some pretty good acting by Brian Cox and the angry kid that plays the main bad teen, and stuff gets a bit boring. There are some awesome Tom Sizemore-evil-family-lunacy events built in, but basically this one is only okay from here out."
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
