You have to give Anthony Hopkins a lot of credit for making Blackway a movie better than it really was. I see reviews saying that Hopkins is too old to play the part as vigilante. This movie would have have bombed if there would have been a more classic vigilante hero as the lead character. The whole story revolved around the payback that Hopkin's character needed to serve up against Blackway for being an A-hole on the traffic stop when Blackway was a cop. Les (Hopkins) knew that he couldn't take Blackway alone so he enlisted the help of Nate right outta the gate. The addition of Hal Holbrook as Whizzer was well cast and added a nice touch to the story. The ending seemed a bit rushed but still had an impact that left you satisfied with the results. Overall, this was a movie that I enjoyed watching and that is all you can ask from a movie in the end.
