Kevin Bacon gives a stellar performance through one of the most unforgiving, straight-nosed revenge films I have seen. Hell, it's so polarized that any time it stems from "family" moments or when the cops start opening their mouths for even a second of dialogue, it's ridiculous. I broke out laughing at the cop as she tried to "threaten" Kevin Bacon's character to take him to court if he continues the "war." The murderous madness continues and then blasts into overdrive near the very end, and sure there is a plot, but the frantic camera is what truly keeps the viewer glued. All in all, gritty fun for those who love that Saw stuff. 7.7/10.
