i really enjoy the movie. All the scenes are shown in flash backs and reverse screen play. it is the story of the man who lost his wife and fell in love with a lady working in bank.He feels that what ever he lost in life can be get back only if he can loved by that lady(bank teller).so that he had planned with his friend to be noticied by bank teller with a plan.but things go wrong when his friend cheated him with local mobstars crew by robbery which leads to injured the bank teller(lover) and him.After recovering from injury his(cuba) job is to find the robbery crew and kill them.on the other hand the robbery gang want to catch him to kill.cuba acting is excellent.

A small town garbage collector, Liam Case(Cuba Gooding, Jr.), becomes a hero when he pulls a little girl Marley(Sammi Hanratty)from a burning car. His celebrity cools off and he becomes almost a forgotten man. When he finds himself infatuated with a beautiful young bank teller(Christa Campbell), he wants to impress her by being a hero again. He schemes a fake bank robbery, but it goes horribly wrong. She is shot and left in a coma. Skinner McGraw(Kim Coates)and his gang that was robbing the bank for real immediately become Liam's targets of revenge. Liam begins brutally killing gang members; but not unnoticed. Detective Subcott(Ray Liotta)has a hunch who the center of attention is. Soon the hero Case is hunted by the law and the confederates who betrayed him.This violent action-thriller is well paced and has more than enough to sustain interest. Some disturbing images, but don't expect a lot of gore. Also in the cast: Jean Smart, Tommy Flanagan, Steven Kozlowski and Ben Cross.

Liam Case (Gooding) is shot and left for dead during a botched bank robbery. When healed, he decides to go after the robbers.This is a very violent film so be prepared. For the longest time you have no real idea what is going on. It's like watching something in a time continuum kind of thing as in CRASH and VANTAGE POINT, and it doesn't straighten out until the last 20-minutes or so. But, as back and forth and as violent as this is, there is entertainment value in here. And, once you see the twist, all becomes very clear.Cuba Gooding is one of those actors who could be nominated for an Oscar for any movie he is in. The movie may be bad, but he is always good and that cannot be said of too many. Ray Liotta is always fun to watch and one day someone will realize he, too, is an Oscar caliber actor. I was surprised to see Jean Smart in this. I almost didn't recognize her, but once I heard that voice, I knew it was her. She is terrific. And, Sammi Hanratty will be at the finish line along with Dakota Fanning and Abagail Breslin. The rest of the cast, the bad guys for the most part, were all terrific.When you see Ben Cross you ask yourself, why don't we see more of him. He is a class act. Violence: Very violent Sex: No. Nudity: Yes, you briefly see some pole dancers on a TV screen. Language: Yes.

Enthralling from start to finish...Excellent performance by Cuba Gooding Jr. as the hapless Liam Case...Unlike soo any of today's films, you actually get a chance to learn about the characters in the story and this one takes you into every one's psyche...with the exception of Ray Liotta's character: Detective Terry Subcott, who you only get the chance to learn he's a detective and that's about it... The road to hell is paved with good intentions...'Well ain't that the truth!?'...even if this (film) is taking that tagline to the extreme...He seemed a little too trusting (a couple of times), especially after all the guy had been through... Obviously born from a good script and followed through with good, solid directing, acting, editing, art direction, etc, etc..nobody fell down on this production anywhere, making it well worth the time and money...Probably the best 'one-liner' description I can offer is: 'edgy and enjoyable from start to finish'...It's got a good 'look' to it as well...one that matches the subject and helps in bringing it all together in a nice coherent finished project... The only other problem I have with this movie(really) is with the same one I see in a lot of movies..The portrayal of the 'uniformed' cops...They are represented as complete idiots (granted there are some, but that's in every profession & can you imagine the majority of people they deal with day in & day out?)...From their 1st entry until getting blown to smithereens by automatic rifle...driving right into it, getting out of the car, then standing there as if trying to get shot!...I mean com'on!, these guys do this professionally, 5+ days a week - 8+ hours a day...It's their job! I'm pretty sure they pick up a few things along the way...(like being somewhat cautious and prepared for criminals with automatic weapons!?!)...I mean, when was the last time a traffic cop stopped a car without being prepared to pull his pistol?, much less pull right into a multi-gun battle without any knowledge of what's going on and see eager to get shot like paper targets!...It just doesn't happen, yet they are continually portrayed as 'complete idiots that can't get their guns out of the holsters' and seem to 'attract bullets like magnets'...It's just always stupid-looking and unrealistic...Lastly, since the story was taken to the end...I would have liked to know how much time one has to ponder, being a hero...that would have been a nice finishing touch, if even given by a V.O or some screen-notes; just 'something' about what the deal was (how long in the suit & chair, etc)...but I'm just being picky now, as I can imagine whatever I want I guess...Regardless, this is a 1st rate film that anyone who likes crime dramas can't miss...Id go so far as to say "It's the best one I've seen in years".
