This is NOT an action movie, as some have surmised. What it is, is an extremely well written mystery/thriller. I enjoyed this movie, not so much for the action sequences, although there was a few, but for the twists and turns to the plot. Mel Gibson plays an awesome role as a father struggling with his MONUMENTAL grief for the death of his only daughter (who meant the world to him) while trying to figure out who killed her and why. My only complaint was a kind of slow start to the whole process. Things take a bit of time following the murder until Mel finally starts to pick up speed in the investigation. At the same time I suppose they needed to establish the blow that this was having on Mel's character, otherwise the movie would just be a revenge movie. 4.0/6.0
