“We got him!” a policeman says as they approach the old building. As they make their way inside, what they find surprises them. They missed the criminal, but they certainly didn’t miss the crime.
What seems to have once been a man is lying on a bed with a mirror directly on top of him, which would give the man laying on the table a perfect view of the scene.
The body had no limbs and no head, and you can imagine what other things he didn’t have. The police finally recognize the body when they see its head on the table.
One of the detectives grabs his phone and dials a number, “We found Darby, Nick … He’s looked better.”
This film features Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx, two great actors who have been in some major motion pictures such as 300, Phantom of the Opera, Any Given Sunday and Collateral. Throughout the movie, you are left with unanswered questions that play a big role at the end of the movie.
Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) is a brilliant thinker whose wife and daughter were raped and murdered in his Philadelphia house one afternoon. As the murderers leave the house, one of them proceeds to say, “You can’t fight fate,” which gets burned into Clyde’s memory forever.
After the criminals get caught, they receive a sentence that Clyde didn’t think justified the crime they committed, so he decides to take matters into his own hands. Clyde tries to teach the prosecutor a lesson by giving the murderers his own punishment, then the chase is on.
Ten years pass and one of the murderers is now free after serving his 5-year sentence in jail, and Clyde has had plenty of time to plan his revenge. When one of the murderers dies a mysterious painful dead, the action continues with a plot twist that causes the prosecution for the murderers to shift gears.
The murders committed in this movie are those of a brilliant mind. They are well planned and certainly unexpected. If you liked any of the SAW films, this is your movie. The action and plot all tie together to make one good action film that will keep you guessing and certainly create a knot in your throat.
The bad guys are hated, the victims are pitied, and the good guys become heroes. The actors live their roles and become their characters in such a matter that the audience lives it as well.
I had not heard of this movie when I went to go watch it, but I was sure glad I went to see it. It is definitely a movie I would recommend to anyone who loves a good action movie.
I give this movie a B- because the movie does lack more thrilling action scenes. There is good scenes in the movie but the movie as a whole is a little confusing. The scenes are so intriguing that is becomes easy to forget what is going on.
