A maladjusted ex-soldier gets into fighting to repay his debts, and his now-ex-con working-class brother turns to vigilantism when the fighting goes bad.

Decent, but definitely not good enough to watch a second time. Not impactful in the least.

• Why was the kid mysteriously alone in the car, or was I not paying attention?
• Forest Whitaker sounds amazingly stupid.
• Why would the brother be removed from the car for his execution?
• It ends with a The Terminator – (1984 movie)-esque factory scene. Or maybe that’s RoboCop – (1987 movie).
• There’s no way I’d linger overtop of the bad guy after butting him with the rifle.
• The relationship between the brothers is not strongly established enough to justify the plotline in this movie.
• WHY would the cop car stop where it did?
• WHY would the cop wait so long to shoot the brother?
• WHY would the cop not gun down the brother after establishing that he’s an armed and dangerous murderer?

• The last moments of the movie make no sense at all to me. Shouldn’t he be in prison or something? Was I not paying attention here either?

A lot of this movie makes no sense to me..
