Tagline: How far would you go to protect your home?
Plot: Phil Broker has had enough of the demanding duties of a DEA agent. He brings his young daughter to a small town, looking for a quiet life. But people in this town, as he learns, don't easily forgive any past transgressions-- such as when his daughter fights off a bully at school. This attracts the wrath of the bully's uncle, a meth cooker and dealer, and his gang. Things become dicier when people involved in the last major bust he participated in, track him to the small town.
My rating: 6/10
Will I watch it again? No.
It looks good I guess. I've never disliked a Statham performance. He tends to play the same type of tough guy role but I really dig what he brings to it. He kicks a lot of ass and that's satisfying. James Franco seems too cleaned up in his role. I'd rather have someone more menacing and outright dangerous as Gator. It's a decent action revenge flick but don't go out of your way to see it unless you're a Statham completist like me.
