Just watching this at face value for entertainment only, the film isn't as great as others, although if you were to watch it a while after seeing it again and remember how the plot, unrolls itself a little more at the end, then you may enjoy the underlying message etc. I like how most things aren't just handed or predictable for the viewer during the movie. There may be more information to infer about the interconnection with all that happens in the movie other than beyond what is seen through the film. It may be a nice set up for a sequel, yet the sequel would have to be done Right, otherwise it would destroy itself. It doesn't seem to have an outright conclusion, which can be a bit disappointing for some viewers, yet that's what leaves you thinking about certain events etc in the sequences of the movie. Ray Liotta-Not the best acting in this film. He's better by a bunch in "Goodfellas". His face appears yellowish during parts of the film and his anger doesn't seem real, when he gets upset at some of the other characters. Of course it's acting yet in context of his character it doesn't seem very believable. Jason Stathom-You get a mixture of inter dialogue within himself more or equal to that with the other characters. Sort of narrative/ thoughts. -There is an aspect of an unfinished plotline, or not fully revealed plot or objective, which could leave some viewers a little puzzled or dissatisfied. -It could be looked at more from a complex, or from a more simple point of view. There were some aspects that reminded me of Quintin Tarantino's film the "Hateful Eight"

I've watched this movie a few dozen times (quite literally) and honestly say, best I've watched, forget what unappreciative writer puts on rotten tomato. Puts Statham in a completely different character outside of a driver/bank robber/shooter up guy. Liota has one of the most convincing roles than most any other movie of his I've seen, especially one of the final scenes. Forewarning, you will probably have to watch it a couple times to get, really makes you think. Can NOT recommend a better movie.

Your going to make choice, after watching this movie! Either your going to love it , and underdstand it, or hate it. If you choose you love it, change the dynamics, this could be you, we have good side and bad side, were always battling, to try to make the right choices in life, what I've personally learn, your going to lose some battles, learn from it, but win the war within yourself.
