Warning: Spoilers
The movie has its moments. There are good and bad scenes. There are good and not so good actors. There are good and bad ideas. I wouldn't kill the wife, for example. Too dramatic. That was totally avoidable. Forest whitaker is a hell of an actor. Loved. Jack G. wasn't as good as in nightcrawler. He performs far more better as a psycho than as a bad boy, obviously in my opinion.The fight scenes weren't that good also. All the Rocky saga is far more better. I also expected another reaction for the main character after the death of her wife, towards vengeance or at least that the final fight would be more dramatic and tense, but no. That didn't happen. I liked the story about the relationship between father and child very much. To me, that's the best part of the film.
