Looks and sounds like it is a good flick.
I wonder what the long term psychological effects are on Hollywood liberals playing tough guys? Nah, they can compartmentalize and rationalize anything. |

i have seen the previews on TV, for 2 weeks now. i plan on seeing it but so far its just not in my area. not sure why, it seems to be everywhere else. it looks good.
maybe if more men in the world were more likely to take some retribution on some of the shit bird BF/husbands of their daughters there wouldn't be as much DV in the US. personally, i have had the talk with my sisters husband and my daughters BF about the fact. i got straight to the point, you hit her, i hit you. till you beg me to stop, or it gets to bloody for me to continue with out having to bury you. sisters husband thought this was quite funny, (big boy). we went to the range, and i explained the use of force continuum, and the fact that if no one sees it, the law believes the first person that calls 911. he stopped thinking it was funny. looking forward to seeing the movie. |

The reason everyone else has seen it is because it was released in Europe/Asia months ago, and widely circulated on the internet.

I'm pretty sure if my wifes brother said that to me (which he would not because he is a respectable guy) I would probably break his nose on the spot for 1) even suggesting I would hurt my wife 2) threatening me 3) involving himself in my marriage. Second point, getting to know a sister's (young sister -18) boyfriend is one thing, but the relationship between a husband and wife is non of any other man's business. In general you never ever want to get involved in someone elses domestic affairs. The innocent party is not always obvious, and many times there is no innocent party. |

Fuck yeah. My daughter is 9 and I PITY THE FOOL...LOL that would give her problems. She was my first born and like all parents I am sure, I would die for her. Hearing her every night say, "Good night daddy, I love you" just melts my heart.
ANother good movie if you want to get your fatherly juices flowing is "FEAR" with Mark Wohlberg. Talk about wanting to kill a kid. Million dollar home with protection all around and not a fucking gun. Give me a break. Natron |

If you wouldn't beat the shit out of any man that hit your sister then you are a shit brother. Sigh. It is probably just the internet that brings out the Billy Baddass's around here. It all depends on the situation. There are plenty of women in the real world that will start a fight then if a man defends himself would go crying that "I didn't do anything and he attacked me blah blah". Ive seen plenty of trashy people that deserve the domestic hell they create for themselves. No amount of arrests or therapy will fix it. If you want to play Rambo regardless of if you are in the moral or legal right to do so, then knock yourself out. But don't complain when your attempt at playing hero lands you in jail. I want to add: if you are walking down the street and some stranger comes up and smacks your sister in the face, then by all means cowboy up. But in a domestic situation it is advisable to collect all the facts before engaging in violent activity. ps, I have a stupid sister who has been involved with drugs and tends to make things up. I'm sure no one elses sister would ever be "one of those" but just something to think about. |

Is that the kind of thing you're talking about? Obviously not. I'm talking about absolutes and the risks of assumption. Not all women are innocent parties in domestic violence situations. If -my- sister called me up and said her latest bf/husband hit her I would tell her to call the cops. I would not believe her (she has a history of lying- yes some women do lie) and I would not be stupid enough to play judge jury and executioner based on her word and nothing more. I think we are reading something and thinking of different situations though. I'm all for defending the innocent. I just don't really trust anyone, and I dislike the legal system's assumption that the male is always the guilty party and the female is always innocent. I know men who have gotten screwed because a women lied about being hit. |

I absolutely hoist the BULLSHIT flag on this! My brother-in-law knows that if he ever lays a hand on my sister, he's DEAD MEAT. I love the guy, but all bets are off if he touches her in a criminal way. But then again, he probably has more to fear from my sister (his wife) than he does from me... 
Same for my daughter: she knows all too well that if someone lays hands on her in order to hurt her, he/she is HISTORY. After all, there are a LOT of deep, deep abandoned mine shafts around Vegas.....do the math. NO man needs to hit a woman. That is simply dishonorable and cowardly, and shows what a pussy that guy is (and in desperate need of a good old-fashioned ass-whoopin himself). |

Getting back to the movie.
The main character's daughter is taken by human traffickers. He does all within his power to find her as quickly as possible. In his search he is efficient, effective, and at times downright brutal. This isn't a twist on a horror flick nor is it an over the top slaughterfest like Rambo, but neither does he go out of his way to try and be "civilized" in how he deals with the criminals. Here's an ironic twist: I'm a pretty soft-hearted man in many ways, but watching the movie got me thinking of my own daughters and I seriously could find no fault in the man for what he did no matter how "illegal" or brutal his actions were. I felt no pity whatsoever for the human traffickers and my only regret is that we aren't actively hunting and exterminating them with extreme prejudice in real life. The movie got me thinking about the victims of human trafficking and the real life hell that tens of thousands or possibly even hundreds of thousands of people are experiencing. |
