About
If you enjoy straightforward vigilante thrillers like Taken with a quieter, stoic-leaning lead and plenty of brawls, this could work; Not for you if you hate predictable revenge plots or find the silence gimmick frustrating.
Pros: solid hand-to-hand fights; stoic-quote framing; engaging premise | Cons: predictable revenge beats; uneven acting; illogical plot moments
