*** – This is a surprisingly good film with even more surprisingly watchable performances from two actors who I generally don’t particularly like – Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler. The trailer for this one made it look like a by-the-numbers revenge flick, but it actually had a bit more of a story to it and maintained enough mystery to keep the audience guessing as to just what might happen next. The only real downside here is that I never really had any sympathy for either of the two main characters, and I’m guessing that the idea was for the audience to have sympathy for both. I wouldn’t have been disappointed if both of them had kecked it in the end.
