High school teacher Will Gerard (Nicolas Cage) lives a life of content domesticity with his beautiful wife Laura (January Jones) until one night’s horrific events turns their world upside when Laura is left for dead after being violently attacked. As Laura lays helpless in hospital with Will waiting anxiously at her bedside, he is approached by a well-dressed stranger (Guy Pearce) who offers to dispense immediate justice to Laura’s attacker and save the couple from a traumatic trial. Confused and distraught, Will accepts the stranger’s proposal but soon learns that justice comes at a price. (Momentum Pictures)

Nonsense. As expected. Nicolas is like the Little Boletus and he is plowing through family depression and sacrifice to revenge, which is pretty strangely depicted, though. Every now and then I like his movies, but I don’t really need to see this one in particular again.

The central idea of the film intrigued me so much that I was completely immersed in the plot, waiting anxiously to see if Nicolas Cage would somehow miraculously get out of the shit he was in. Surprisingly, he actually succeeds and almost everything turns out well. (70%)
