While watching this movie i was wondering why this movie was provided on a VOD service.....with such awesome stunts ,a strong script and brilliant acting this movie deserved a wide release .I was never a big Gibson fan but now i think i like his style of action thrillers never meant to say that i didn't like lethal weapon series but this in a way is more simplistic and tough. This movie is seriously meant for fans of tough action movies and is not for people looking out for a highly intelligent action movie.This is a smartly and slickly written piece of work which definitely has its ups and downs.The story is nothing new, first half hour is Mel settling into prison life ,but when the action begins it's a very brutal affair. The ups of the movie include the sublimely realistic acting of all the lead actors with Mel Gibson leading from the front,a tightly and smartly written screenplay(courtesy Gibson)and a smart yet simplistic approach from the director. The downsides include the quality of shots taken which i think they should have taken with a much higher budget in hand and also a pretty unimpressive trailer. If only it had been marketed well and had a wide release this movie would have hit bulls eye. All in all this movie is a Mel Gibson show which is highly gripping,thrilling and which I found is all the more absurdly entertaining. Thanks to all the folks who read the review.CHEEEERSSS........!!!

Sorry folks, but although Mel Gibson walked through this film without a hair on his head turning, I thought this film was just awful from start to finish. I normally like Mel Gibson because I can never talk him seriously, perhaps too much Lethal Weapon. I like him in tongue in cheek tough guy roles, which is why I thought I would enjoy this movie. And this was a film I had looked forward to. This was a film that disappointed me. I might add that lacking English sub titles didn't help. Half the time I couldn't understand what was going on. Mel Gibson was rough and tough, but ultimately this film was disappointing.
