... it tells a great story from a different perspective.
If you are in it to see a "John Wayne" style movie - you might be disappointed. It's a rapid journey of character development into the mind of sociopath that involves a daughter that possibly has the same tendencies.
Nicholas Cage is actually great in this flick. Nothing over the top, or what can be considered "Nicholas Cage-y" (esque?) but with all things Nicholas Cage, he brings it - and he's awesome in this one.
The plot isn't that thick and the outcome is semi-predictable but the journey hooks you and that's all that really matters. The father-daughter relationship that unfolds is the more compelling part of this flick and definitely worth seeing.
You won't get over the top action - BUT - you'll get a fantastic story with some western style shootouts. A definite must watch for me.
