While its story moves forward in a way that makes sense, Du Welz's pacing is too slow and too choppy for the movie to build up much momentum.

3.5/5

A brooding, gritty revenge flick geared as a throwback to American cinema of yesteryear, when the sleazy metropolis was a favored go-to for cinematic dens of iniquity.

The screenplay by Oliver Butcher and Stephen Cornwell is custom designed for the brutality of the Belgian director Fabrice Du Welz. [Full Review in Spanish]

Was this a terrible movie? No, not by any means. It just wasn't that great, even if the vehicle felt very ripe for Boseman.

Better directed than written and with some sound performances from the entire cast, the film is, however, covered with a hopeless and melancholy air... [Full review in Spanish]

6/10

Instead of being the next Equalizer, it's a slower paced investigative revenge piece that's lacking a harder edge.

Not a great movie, but watchable and satisfying. Nice to see a movie, that isn't fascinated by guns and mayhem. There is violence, but it has a more earthy tone. Worth watching till the end.

Could have been better. Another Liberal SJW movie.

Good revenge film with an enigmatic lead performance by Boseman and an excellent ensemble cast. Some gritty and satisfying fight scenes with a bike chain and director Du Welz doesn't feel he needs to tie up all the loose ends, adding to the overarching sense of struggle in an alien environment. A good modern take on Get Carter and The Limey.

It was an OK movie. I found the story, even a "thousand times" told interesting. Minus stars for the unsolved part why he doesn't bring his sister "home" and the ending. It seems they went with the stereo type person from SA (most dangerous cities in the world and he has the survival skills to fight gangs in fist fights so he is unpredictable etc. ) and just tried to give the story a twist which didn't work for me.
