This movie was pretty graphic, but I thought it was excellent! Kept me on the edge of my seat!

I like Paul Walker but I really didn't care for his character in this movie and I didn't care for the movie itself. You're suppose to like him since he's the "good guy" but I found it really difficult to do. I thought he was disgusting and I saw him as a walking contradiction... so concerned with his child and the other boy yet willing to place them both in extreme danger.

I don't mind foul language but the language in this movie was just too much. It had more graphic violence than any movie I've ever seen. My stomach was in knots for most of it. I should have turned it off but my curiosity is too strong. I kept expecting the violence to subside and things to wind down but it didn't.

It has good reviews at netflix and I can see how some would really like the intensity of it. It will keep you on the edge of your seat and it has a "happy" ending. Paul Walker was beautiful in his other movies. Not so much in this one ... for me.

My 17 year old wanted to watch it and I wouldn't let him. It was *that* bad to me. I put it back in the netflix envie and sent it off the following morning.
