…best served cold
A man accepts help from a group of vigilantes, after his wife is attacked, to bring justice to the perpetrator, only to find the repayment plan extortionate.
Nicholas Cage plays Will, a mild mannered school teacher, who is forced into the extremes of a criminal world after he accepts the help of a secret vigilante group, who believe they are cleaning the streets. Once in their debt, Will discovers a world of corruption and illegality that he must traipse through in order to survive, whilst looking for a way out.
A thrill-ride that offers a decent menu of stunts and chases, and some intrigue, but fails to delve deeper into the plot, for fear of exposing the flimsy storyline. Cage gives a worthy performance, offering up the emotional complexity of a man stuck between a rock and a hard place, who chooses an easy way out only to find it the rockier path.
