A taut, tense thriller that shows us a man who has to choose between the lesser of two evils. In the end, I think he chooses correctly. The U.S. court system, massively flawed though it may be, is far preferable to an elite group (or for that matter, an individual) taking matters of law into their own hands. There have been too many "dirty harry" type movies. Somebody had to make a movie like this, a movie that blurs the supposedly clear-cut line between "right" and "wrong," a line that Hollywood has tended to present to us as clear-cut black and white, especially in the action/thriller genre. It's refreshing to see a thriller that's also thought-provoking. The movie itself is flawed in many ways, but in my opinion it gets its point across well enough, and manages to be reasonably entertaining at the same time. 7/10.
