Synopsis:

• Poster: D+

Review:

Sometimes simplistic works. Othertimes, you have something like this. The barely-hidden handgun in Gibson's hand isn't terribly impressive, nor is the washed out hulking image covered by abraisive red text.

• Trailer: C-

Review:

Mel Gibson has been riding the revenge train for years and seems to rejoice in playing characters that are seeking justice, even if through violent means. I'm beginning to wonder if Gibson has anything but violence in him.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
