Dumb, plotless, bad acting from some cast, but has some moments of fun.
I rented this movie from RedBox.
Honestly, this movie is pretty generic. It's about what you'd expect from a Liam Neeson revenge movie.
Nothing really that inventive or original about it, though some of the inter play between the crime lords and the Indian tribe in the movie are a bit interesting. The story is pretty typical. Liam's son is murdered, but it's made to look like a drug overdose, Liam doesn't believe it is and digs deeper, finding out this big plot and so one thing leads to another with him going on a rampage to kill drug lords for revenge.
It's a pretty forgettable movie except for one thing...
The ending!
I was bewildered by the ending of this movie. It's a pretty straight forward serious movie for the most part, and not a comedy. But the surprise ending that comes out of freaking nowhere is so out of place and random that it just blew my mind. It was the most "what-the-hell-kind-of-ending-is-that!?" moment I've ever had.The ending is like something straight out of a dark comedy and it's so out of place and out of tone with the rest of the movie that I almost love it.
I am only going to even remember this movie down the road because of that ending.
so I actually recommend watching it only to get to that part, but you have to watch the whole movie to get the impact of that ending. So if you're curious, watch it for that.
Mistake status: Meh, wasn't really looking for any. Caught one and don't really think I'll come back to this.

Trivia: The filmmakers had originally planned to shoot the film at Banff National Park, but the direction of the park did not like the fact that one of the bad guys was an Indigenous gang boss, and therefore the filming permit was revoked.
