I've been sat pondering what to write about this for a few minutes, and actually, i'm still not sure, but here goes!
It has me thinking a lot about Wahlbergs direction talents, and it kind of gives me the feeling that he wants to create something big, with huge impact, that has some great story behind it, but he once again comes up just a little short.
While the story was quite good, it didn't differ enough to make it hard hitting. Films like Four Brothers and perhaps Contraband come to mind...
It starts extremely slowly, builds up quite well, and then has a somewhat muddy finish. While i'm at it, Zeta Jones is awful, and Russell Crowe, this isn't Gladiator.
Disappointed in what it could have been, but not enough to give it a sub-6.
Worth a watch if there's nothing else on, or if for some reason you have a crush on Wahlberg!
It gets a 6.6.
