Memorable quote:
John Brennan: [Purchasing a gun] Show me where the bullets go.
I belive this is a punch line that explains Russel’s Character in the movie!!
What?
A happy family has a quite boring life, parents with regular jobs and a kid that doesn't harm anybody. One day all this changes; the cops brake down the door and drag the mother out of the house for murder. Innocent or guilty she faces 25 to life. After all the paperwork fails the husband takes things in his own hands. An exciting story of a desperate husband, will he succeed?
Yes?
Let’s start with the obvious but still not always visible is Paul Haggis, great writer and Director, I like d what he did here, so this should be clear for everybody.
The first beauty is the uncertainty if the wife is innocent or guilty, which is hidden throughout the whole movie, this fact doesn't disturb the husband to play silly games and to try rescue her. There is a lot of emotion in play here, I felt really bad for Russell and the kid when they take away the mother. A funny fact is you want the whole thing to succeed bearing in mind the fact that she could be guilty. To bring the whole crowd to stand behind Russell is great. Russell as always was amazing. Banks was also good, but didn't have too much to do here. You could almost call it a one man show. I also loved the part that he learns everything from YouTube, which again is quite possible. Then we had Neeson for a brief moment, he is just perfect for this small part! The most important thing is the flow. You stay focused during the whole thing and it keeps you sharp to follow every single detail so you won't miss anything.

I hate the word luck. Russell is not James bond nor a Superhero.; if a non professional can pull all this off, luck comes in handy, and it most certainly did. Everything felt in place, when and how he needed. It almost looked too easy. For me this is definitely a negative point. Besides that I don't have much more. Maybe the last scene was a bit unnecessary but that's it.

Well...
If you liked prison break, in which every possible thing worked out bad, you will like this one. Watch it, its fun and keeps you interested and squeezed into your seat till the end. Because off all the above I grade this one...
Grade: 7.5 out of 10
