Our second film for last night. I was fervently hoping it would improve on the dire 'Memory'.
I wanted to dislike this film. The synopsis suggested it was going to be utter tosh - ex-enforcer's daughter is kidnapper by a depraved cartel member, and the price of her safe return is not an easy ask. It's a hackneyed plotline with an easily anticipated paint-by-numbers ending. However...
Frank Grillo as 'Doc' makes quite a likeable antihero. He's as hard as fuck of course and rather adept with a firearm in his hand, of which he has an Terminator-esque array. Beau Knapp makes an extremely good psychotic, amoral baddie without resorting to chewing the scenery. I also thought Sofia Bryant was good as Grillo's daughter. So against all expectations, I actually enjoyed this. I woudn't describe it as a 'good film'; it isn't. But that doesn't mean you can't be entertained.
A rather surprising 5.5/10.
