When she is abducted, his fiery rage is unleashed on those he feels responsible, and he stops at nothing to save her. (20th Century Fox)

I thought it was pretty solid. Quite predictable, but it does a decent job building up its character(s) and the actual action and set pieces are great. Denzel Washington is as stellar as he usually is, and Fanning is pretty good as well. You may not enjoy this if you don’t like Tony Scott’s films, but I found it to be some really solid entertaining revenge stuff. Also, good pacing, especially for the length. Worth watching for the performance alone.

What starts as a boring kidnapping drama turns into a over-stylized and boring machismo revenge flick. This is only marginally better than the dozen or so other revenge stories featuring Denzel Washington.

Unmistakably a Tony Scott film with all the good and bad that suggests - if you buy into his hyperactive visual style, this is an exceptionally well-acted domestic drama for about an hour, with Washington and (especially) Fanning bringing real gravitas to an unlikely burgeoning relationship. Becomes dull and redundant once the revenge plot kicks in, with a compromised third act sinking much of the dramatic weight. Still well worth watching as a reminder of how great Fanning was as a child star.

Efficiently told and with good drive on the story. The film takes its time and builds up Denzel Washington's character, and then unleashes him on a fantastic revenge trip. Tony Scott's collaboration with Denzel resulted in one of their best films together.

There was a 1987 version with Scott Glenn? Interesting. Anyway, this was good fun. Tony Scott's somewhat over-the-top style genuinely worked for me here, creating mood and helping with the flow of the film - I can see how it might not work for some, though. Denzel gives a nicely controlled performance as the anti-hero, and Fanning is almost unsettlingly accomplished in her role; the interplay between the two is very good. The violent climatic scenes are quite satisfying. Worth a look.
