good movie. brutal revenge movie. i think butlers character took his revenge too far though and became the bad guy, i mean when he started killing everybody including people like the girl who was the young lawyer, who was only starting out training when that case was on, and then killing others who had nothing to do with his family's death. for a while during the movie you were up for him and on his side and could see his point of view, but after a while definitely not, but opinions vary....... i think he took it too far, i mean killing people that really had nothing to do with his childs death, he went from good guy to bad guy in that movie, but yeah, a good movie, probably one of butlers best.
