What begins as a feel-good-human-interest story turns into a mystery, then a tragedy, and ultimately an outrage.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

I'm not sure what's worse....Cage's hair dye, the wife that looks younger than the daughter or the tired plot. I'm now just using it as background noise while I write this review. If this was the only movie available to watch, I would probably schedule a dentist appointment to have a root canal done instead of watching this again. I like many movies that Nick Cage has done, and I will watch those. When I saw Danny Glover, I was really thinking that Mel Gibson may show up. More disappointment.

This movie was an absolute waste of 2 hours of my life I'll never get back. Don't waste your time on it. Boring, drags on and on and on with very little story. Loser of a movie for Nicholas Cage. He is not aging well and needs to stay out of action movies. I use the term 'action movie' loosely in this description.Watch something better. Perhaps an old Bruce Willis movie or Conair.

In my effort to see as many films of last years as I can, I come across a typical revenge film that is indicative of a Euripides tragedy. Reason giving was to passion as the protagonist attempts to avenge the death of his daughter.At the end, one thinks of Karma at work. The sins of the past being balanced in the future.But is is those sins that cause me to think throughout this movie. I see an Irish Catholic boy in Paul (Nicolas Cage) who presumably confessed his sins and received absolution, and who then went on to perform great works to put that sinful life behind him.But, I also see the stain of those sins remaining in his heart and soul. They never truly go away, and he reverts to his previous character and commits even greater sins as his passions consume him.Passion overcomes reason and causes Paul to reject those who love him, and to hurt his friends as well as his enemies.The sins of the father are visited upon the son, or in this case upon the daughter, played by Aubrey Peeples of Lake Mary, Florida, and a famed Sharknado actor.

Not like the movie Taken at all. So its in no way a bad or a good copy of that movie. This movie is in some ways over the top and kind of silly, but also more realistic in its main story than most action (if you remove some of the characters and some of the action). Some of the characters act really bizarre, mostly Danny Glover, that cop character acts like its a cool revenge story ( I don't like what you do but if you wanna kill an army of guys go ahead I understand, a man gotta do what a man gotta do). To me the only message in this flick was the meaningless of violence. It masquerade itself to be a straight forward action movie in the two thirds of it and not really being that is the strength and the weakness of Tokarev.
