Harockerce What a beautiful movie!

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

pik923 Liked it well worth watching it. Critics were a bit harsh. Though Jennifer Lopez worked so well with Viola in their characterizations. Don't want to give anything away with its well crafted script twists and turns. Grief of a mother was so magnificently portrayed by many of the cast. Unfortunately something that we see so much of in the US murders not solved, racism within police, gang wars and victims - it was all there without beating the chest or imposing it. The script was not only well crafted the director controlled the passions. Well done everyone - yes there are weaknesses but not enough to warrant bypassing this film.

swifty77 A half decent 'action' flick that kicks off with a promising start but then just really doesn't go anywhere, meandering around what could have been some much-needed 'BANG BANG PEWWW PEWWW' moments. Viola Davis is still brilliant however and Lopez was better than she was in 'Gigli' but not as good as she was in 'Out of Sight'. The twist comes around with about twenty minutes to go and, credit where credit's due, I wasn't actually expecting it. But the whole reveal is so pointless and makes TOO much sense for a twist anyway, it doesn't have any affect whatsoever. The story chugs along as if the twist never happened. If you're looking to kill some time, watch this.

edwagreen Film definitely shows the importance of support groups in dealing with common tragedies. In fact, this support group went over-the-top in this situation and that shows the cohesiveness of the group.This is a film essentially about vigilante justice. Am still trying to figure out the Jennifer Lopez role in the film. She befriends Lila, Viola Davis whose son was gunned down while walking down the street and being at the wrong place at the wrong time.It doesn't take much to turn Lila into a virtual killing machine.The film also shows how overwhelmed the police department is when they attempt to solve homicides.

Robert W. Lila and Eve reads well and has two decent leads and looked like an indie film so I was intrigued. I think the thing that annoys me the most about the film is that it thinks its unique. Its like it holds this mysterious twist that it believes the audience won't see coming and yet I had it nailed in the first half hour or less and everyone else will too because we've seen this twist before. There is a lot of emotion here to this story and a lot of potential but most of it is missed or lost when the story starts to get silly and convoluted. Its like they took a genuinely serious story and then another writer took over and made it go in a completely different direction. Its definitely an indie film and it has that vibe but that isn't even a reason as to why it isn't great. I guess I expected something along the lines of Death Wish or The Brave One and it has some of those elements but a very poor screenplay ultimately with some very clumsy directing that leaves you completely unsatisfied with the idea.Viola Davis is a great actress. She isn't necessarily one of my favourites but I know she has a ton of talent and seems very versatile. That's why I think this film was beneath her in a lot of ways. It is just a very weak script and her character is decent but lacks a lot of depth considering the intensity of the role. I think she does her best but it only serves to lift the quality of the film a little. Jennifer Lopez is a good actress too I think. It really does depend on her role and I don't think she has a lot of range but I think she is okay in the part. Her and Davis seem to fit alright but their characters are so much more intense than what the script gives them credit for. This is sort of a very dark, serious Thelma and Louise because Lopez has essentially talked Davis into taking vengeance on those that killed their children. Its a great concept, but poorly executed. The two of them are the focus of the film of course and I can't honestly say that anyone in the supporting cast is all that great and worth mentioning. The two main characters have very little depth so its a lot to ask for the sub-characters to be noticeable.I was pretty certain watching this that the director would be someone fairly new. However, Charles Stone has some experience under his belt but nothing like this at all. I mean his previous work included Mr. 3000 (which I remember seeing years ago and absolutely loving but that's beside the point.) This requires some time and effort and a much better script and much more heart behind the camera. I don't feel like he cared at all about how the film was shot. I did however smile and nod when I saw that this is really the only credit to writer Pat Gilfillan. Now I know that everyone deserves a chance and everyone has to start somewhere but I am convinced that 99% of the time you can see inexperience in work and this is an example. I think the idea is great but it misses the mark and ends up being mildly watchable probably due to the talent of Davis and yes even Lopez. They are very lucky they got two well known actresses in the role or it would have been completely overlooked. As it is, it is mostly forgettable. 6/10
