Not a bad vigilante movie in which Antonio Banderas plays a kind of Nicholas Cage character. Nothing new under the sun, as we say in France. I find here some EQUALIZER elements: Russian mob, teen hooker, mystical avenger reading books, aware of sounds and eye glancing. And of course Chuck Bronson's ghost is nearly everywhere in this film. I expected nor worse or better. Just an adequate time waster.

I would have given this a 1 star if I hadn't laughed out loud a few times. Banderas slept walked through this, or is on heavy medication. The producer and director must have felt sorry for him because part way through the movie they turned him mute....I missed how and why, but who cares. He's better mute. It would have been even better if they spared us his voice over narration. The best part of the movie - where he is undercover in his '67 baby blue Mustang parked directly in line of sight of the bad guy's house, whom he knows, in daylight of course. But he was wearing sunglasses so he's invisible. To think people are paid to make this crap.

Loved it. Has everything a new take on a hashed out script with a totally original outcome. Second only to black butterfly

I think with a few tweaks, this could've been a decent movie. There was way too much cheese and too many unrealistic scenes. The plot was overdone and predictable, but could've been saved with better writing.
