What the hell are people smoking? I can understand enjoying this movie, but an average rating of 3.8 in some places—on par with truly great films—is absurd. The acting is mediocre, the editing is sloppy, and the flashback scenes are nearly inaudible unless you have the hearing of an owl. The plot is anything but original, and the complete absence of law enforcement strains credibility. Worst of all, [spoiler] Richard’s sudden “realisation” that he was becoming the very monster he sought to fight felt like lazy writing and an easy way out. Those people terrorised his mentally disabled brother—he was entirely justified in his actions.
