Could have been a semi-decent film, if not for that eyeroller of a climax and the events thereafter. Borrows plenty from Taken with a bit of Red thrown in, and it could have been great after that sucker punch twist 30 minutes into the film.

Nic Cage sleepwalks through the most part, except for the grieving where he really touched my most sensitive nerve (being an emotional Dad of a girl myself). Rachel Nichols is a real hottie and is miscast, so is Peter Stormare. Needed better casting choices for those 2 roles. The best part of the film is it's background score - it's so impressive I'll have to download it and set it as my ringtone.

As things stood, a promising film let totally down by it's second half. Sorry Sean, you have to do better.
