Sacrifice (I) (2011)
5/10
Been there done that

Warning: Spoilers
I gave his movie a 5 because it is fun to see local settings and the movie was generally entertaining. It combines well worn plot lines from the last 30 or 40 years. The suffering cop, the vigilante cop, the hapless victim trying to escape a world not of his choice, the innocent little girl, the nasty alpha female, the wannabe trying to follow big bad daddy and of course the ex military man become holy and our ace in the sleeve. Totally predictable. It would have been cool if Jet Li and Mel Gibson were going at each other, but this is B grade from the start. Riddled with clichés.. the mobster, the caddy, the camera angles, the stand-offs. If you live or know Toronto well and want to feel nostalgic, enjoy for the settings, but not much else. Oh there is some eye candy for both sides, again cliché!
