Now this is how you make an action thriller and a genuinely entertaining movie. This film is well structured and the cast is absolutely perfect. Mike Colter proves he's more than just Luke Cage. Gerard Butler is perfect in the lead and shows he has acting chops that range far beyond shear muscle. Even the sporting cast delivered the emotion necessary to help flesh out and carry this film. It's not the most complex story and it didn't have to be. It knew what it wanted to be and delivered. The viewer is truly invested after great supposition and a well constructed first act. Tension is high and unlike other movies of this nature it kept things grounded fierce and believable. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this movie and it is actually one of the better efforts of the entire year.
