Genre: Action, Drama, and Thriller

An exciting and dramatic movie that contains a lot of action and death. I expected more from this movie and thought is was a little confusing. I recommend it to teenagers and adults who like action. I didn't appreciate it as much as the other movies that were released this year but it is a good movie with one of the most renowned actor, Mel Gibson.

It is a fascinating movie with a lot of action and surprises and is recommended for all ages. I was not expecting this movie to be as good as it is and I was caught by surprise. I expect the continuation and the creation of a second movie that'll be as good as this one.

In my opinion it's a touching story that portrays a realistic romance, different from other romantic movies that always finish with happy endings and cause false expectations and illusions for the individuals who watched it.
