This is such a disgrace for a great actor like Viggo to be seen in. To start this movie seemed interesting, the story seemed to escalate and only at the very end did I realize that it was all mis-leading you to think there is a climax.
Why this movie sucks: Sex Scenes: I still don't understand the reason the 2 very graphic sex scenes were in this movie, I am certainly all for sex scenes when there's a point. I didn't see a point to either of them in this movie, people literally laughed when a very violent fighting scene turned into a STAIRS sex fest.
Characters: Possibly this movies biggest flaw. Viggo's character has so little depth it was laughable, there was very little history given on his Johnny and there was no reasoning given for why he changed who he was, or how, or anything about his past really. You didn't even know him, yet the movie was supposed to make you feel for him? Then Johnny's brother comes into the picture, and he wants to kill Johnny because of what... Johnny made it hard for the brother to get into goods with some mob people? We also know nothing about him, and all he has to do is ask and Johnny just drives up to Philly with no more reason then, because. His character should have KNOWN what his brother was like and predicted it. None of this made sense to me, It all seemed so empty.
Violence: I do NOT have a problem with violence in movies, I think a lot of times violence makes a movie have lot more impact (IE: Kill Bill, Four Brothers) but in this movie all the violence happened just so it would happen. There was no suspense, AT ALL. It just happens then its over, it was very boring, and very graphic.
