    definitely does not deserve the 92 rank on Rotten Tomatos. Not sure how this movie got that high a ranking. More like a 72. it was ok. but seemed to be to long and trying to hard to be edgy contemporary dirty harry character... worth seeing

    Very good, grisly, tension-filled thriller. Using No Country for Old Men as a measuring stick, however, it's a B, not an A.

    The Emperor's not wearing any clothes - and he can't act or write his way out of a paper bag either. What a self-indulgent, pretentious load of Hollywood crap.

    I'm trying to graph how so many users gave this an F. I genuinely not understand how a moviegoer could be so unappreciative of such an incredible movie. I saw it a week ago and haven't been able to get it off my mind ever since.

    Great movie. Not your usual action flick, thank goodness. Acting is superb. I nominate Albert Brooks for Best Supporting Actor.

    It was decent as far as car chase movies go. Better than most in this genre.

    Excellent action flick. If you're looking for some substance, rather than mindless dialogue and endless CGI, then this movie has it. Well done.
