This, on the face of it, is just another 'Man Alone' revenge movie. But don't be put off, there's far more to this than the cover blurb suggest.

The chemistry between the two leads and the sensitive and controlled acting of Denzel Washington make this a far more satisfying film than the usual Hollywood Actioner. Yes, there are enough bullets, bombs and violence to keep the most ardent action fan happy but the under-current is a far more subtle tale of trust, 'love' and the redemption of a lost soul.

Watch it, it's worth the effort.
