Jean-François Richet's old-school action thriller sees Mel Gibson back to his grizzled best.
This is Mel Gibson back to doing what he once did best, just older and grumpier. The movie has problems but delivers when it needs to.
Jean-François Richet, who also directed cult French gangster movie Mesrine, combines the action and the character schtick in a likeable way.
Gibson plays a haggard, exhausted father who must summon the strength to save his daughter’s life in this muscular yet disciplined movie.
Gibson’s wry, battle-hardened veteran [adds] extra value but Erin Moriarty reduced to second fiddle as a bland damsel in distress.
Motorbikes, guns and tattoos about in this fun action film.
