If writer/director Boaz Yakin just keeps making films with Jason Statham, I may just forgive him for his involvement in the travesty that was the '80's Punisher film. Well OK not THAT, but perhaps it would however cleanse my mouth of the rancid taste that From Dusk Til Dawn 2 left.
Did he suddenly get better at writing decent dialog?? No not really, it's still clichéd and trite, however the mere strong presence of Statham as Luke Wright an ex-cop, ex-MMA fighter whom loses everything he holds dear when he doesn't throw a fight with a 'YouTube sensation'. Finding redemption by helping a whiz kid who's running from the same villains that are after him. The saving grace of this film are Jason and his above average fight scenes, without which this movie would've been barely rentable.
