Quotes:
Denis:
A man kills the person you love without reason. You try to remember something he said to make sense of what he did, but there's nothing there. I don't know what I expected to feel, not victory - none of this could bring Valerie back. I hadn't thought of any future beyond killing Ricky Barnes. They say an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.

This story deals with a very happy guy named Denis Hopkins, (Jonny Lee Miller) who is a pilot and he has a wife he loves very much and she is pregnant and they are both looking forward to their son or daughter. Denis likes to bring his airplane to great heights and then turn the engine off and lets the plane descend and at the last minute he would turn the plane back on and scare his wife and sister-in-law in order to show he had great skill as a pilot. There is a terrible crime committed in the home of Denis and his wife which changes the direction of this film and Denis goes from one prison to another in order to get justice and revenge for a great harm which came to him and caused him to have a mental breakdown. Andy Serkis, (Ricky Barnes) gave an outstanding acting performance which created a great resentment towards his horrible character. Enjoy.
