What I liked. ...............spoile rs of course.
I liked the bad guys, especially the pimp- strong, memorable tough guy who weathered his injuries well and then gets shot dead for telling the truth. He had a bad day including his autopsy.
I liked Sean-- a well developed character who spoke Chinese and a bit of Spanish. The director cast him very well and his fighting skills were quite passable.
The editing/directing of the homeless man fight on the train-- how it wrapped back on itself to unravel the fight. Well done.
The whole story hung together and was not cliched, that has to be difficult when vigilante films have been done dozens of times before-- some in cartoon or comic fashion, some serious and this one darker and realistic. Sean picked his fights and often left bad behavior on the street just pass by.
The Chinese restaurant scene-- use of captions- and Sean's spoken language-- loved it.
Sean's father- good portrayal by this veteran actor. Definitely a believable "scrapper" and boxer from Brooklyn. Go SUNY-Purchase-- I read his bio.
I liked the surprise in the homicide of the dastardly Childs. That actor simulated anaphylactic shock very well. Until he licked the stamp, I didn't anticipate what was about to happen. Great scene.
The script writer who left enough clues so I could discuss with my friends whether Sean would be convicted of any of the four homicides despite the supportive female detective. And that's if the coffee table guy lived.
I sort of liked the enigma of the stamp's color indicating that Sean's father was innocent--- ....hmmmmm? No visible reaction from Sean. But we know his father knew the killer, Childs, and suppressed it.
That's enough for now, liked the realistic settings. Thanks.
