The title doesn't really grab you, and the blurb on the back of the DVD packet doesn't suck you in either. However, this is probably the best movie I've seen this year. Tommy Lee's portrayl of a gruff ex-MP searching for his son is honest, simplistic and believable. Charlize Theron as the underestimated detectice is simply smouldering as a brunette.
If you're looking for a good whodunnit detective movie, then this isn't it. This is a movie movie that touches on the pain and anguish of losing a child. A movie about how the war in Iraq has screwed up the lives of so many, and a movie that questions what we do with a group of men who have been trained to kill without question when they come home. It does all of this in layers and without ramming any one theme down your throat.
It takes a lot for me to rave about a movie, but if you've had your fill of explosions and one liners, then do yourself a favour and pick this flick up.
