Kevin Bacon does a fantastic job in the role that Charles Bronson defined years before in the Death Wish film series, only this time around Wan & co. don't glamorize the idea of vigilantism and that makes for a far more frightening and realistic experience. Apart from some great performances from Garret Hedlund & John Goodman and some excellent photography, including a dizzying tracking shot, the rest of the film is an uneven mess. The emotional arcs are all badly timed and placed in the wrong spots making it hard to really invest any real feelings into the story.
