I was really surprised with this one. James Wan's greatest movie to date, and one of the best revenge films that I've seen.
Surprisingly, a very good movie. One of the best of this year for sure.
wanted to see this in the theater but never got around to it. looks great, though; looking forward to the dvd.
I also enjoyed this, I would consider picking this up. I especially liked the ending.
Aww I thought that they were going to use the black and white poster art as the cover...Definitely picking this up!
is this better than "The Brave One"?
Eh, mediocre cover art. Makes it look like a cheap DTV release. I wish they would've used the black and white poster.
Wow, that cover is horrible.
Besides that, I was surprised by this film. It was good, not great, and well made. I liked the BRAVE ONE a lot more though.

Loved this one. Kevon Bacon kicks ass. Cant wait to buy it.
One of the best films of the year so far.Will be buying this for sure no audio commentary though the cover is rubbish.
It was 2.35:1 anamorphic in the cinema when i seen it.

decent movie, terrible cover.
"let's try to make the worse artwork ever"
A million bucks the coverart changes. Someone quote me.
This movie was so damn good, it deserves an HD release! Any words on one?

I want to see this and the poster (red, white and black) was so much better than this cover.
Man, that cover art is horrendous. It looks like a cheap bootleg cover that somebody slapped together in ten minutes with limited Photoshop skills.

The listing here is probably a typo. Happens alot.

Now then...I know things don't go as planned just by the trailer. But please tell me this film does not end up punishing the guy for doing what the lousy justice system (we have on both sides of the Atlantic)failed to do???
If it's half as good as the final scene in "Death Wish" it has my cash.
I hate hippie dippy PC so called 'revenge' films. But this does look like a real winner by the trailer.
non-Spoiler info would be most welcome.

I will need to pick this up for sure. I tried to hard to catch it during its theatrical release but failed 
Didn't get a chance to see this one. Blind Buy for me.
Trailers were great. Will definitely rent.
And I was half-expecting a quote from #$%^&!@ Pete Hammond on that horrendous cover. It has been a good day. :-)

The ending is different than Death Wish, but there is no clear thing as to what happens. He is neither "punished" nor "let go".

yea a blind buy for me too......dont think it will be as good as brave one but still looks like a decent revenge flick.
the cover makes Kevin looks like somekind of monster-mutant !
I was kinda on the fence about this one, I guess I'll give it a rent
awesome movie, loved the ending, glad that it will be unrated and extended, was a pleasant surprise
It's better than the Brave One load of c**p.
Didn't wanna see this in theaters, I'll rent it.
That was quick - I didn't even see this one skip through the theatres....
Wow the cover is horrible, great movie though.... wonder what the extras are going to be?

Quote: Nick Hume (Bacon) is a mild-mannered executive with a loving family and a perfect life, until one gruesome night when his teenage son is senselessly murdered during a gas station holdup. Transformed by grief and not satisfied with courtroom justice, Nick takes the law into his own hands—and wages an all-out war against a gang of vicious street thugs.
