I'm not sure what I like more - the weird cinematography, the solid acting, the setting of the piece (which adds so much to the atmosphere), the way subtitles are used or the fact that this is not just a revenge movie.

I think the cinematography was annoying. Washington was as usual awesome, but somehow it wasn't at par with his other flicks.
The plot was too too predictable, in fact I was praying it not be be as it was at he starting of the movie.

Also the ending was kind of misleading showing the Protagonist's life span. Don't know what was the point if it is a fictional movie.

Saying all that the movie still is quite watchable but 7.8 in IMDB is way overrated. Must be around 6.5-6.8.

It's too bad the last act of the film doesn't stand up to the rest of the movie.
