The plot says it all, it's basically Batman minus the billionare fortune and the ninja skills.

Now, I watched this a few months ago, so the details are kinda sketchy, but I remember enjoying the movie.  The hero is likeable and realistic, the story made sense, the plot was fine...it really didn't try to do too much, which is often a wise move in independent films like this.

IMDB shows that if you liked movies like Batman Begins, Taken and Man on Fire you will most likely enjoy this as well and that's a pretty damn good way to put it.

I do recommend it despite the fact that I don't remember many details of the film, don't take it as the film isn't memorable as much as an indictment of my own memory being shitty.

4/5 STARS
