A beloved high-school teacher empowers a group of vigilantes to exact revenge against the criminal who attacked his wife, but he begins to regret his decision when the clandestine crime fighters demand that he kill a man in return. Will Gerard (Nicolas Cage) and his wife Laura (January Jones) were just a typical happy couple until the night a shocking act of violence left them feeling victimized and vulnerable. Later, as Laura begins her slow recovery in the hospital, a concerned stranger (Guy Pearce) approaches Will with an offer to save them the suffering of a drawn-out trial by promptly dispatching his wife's assailant. Though the help he offers is free of charge, the stranger makes it clear that he may call on Will to repay the favor sometime in the future. When that day comes and Will realizes the true price of revenge is too high for him to pay, the men who once agreed to help him suddenly become his worst enemies. Jennifer Carpenter and Harold Perrineau Jr. co-star.

    Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times [Cage] acquits himself well enough in this otherwise rudimentary thriller from deliriously unsubtle director Roger Donaldson. Full review External link
  3. Positive review
    John Anderson, Newsday It's a perfectly palatable and even engaging thriller, albeit one requiring several leaps of faith and/or disengagement with reality. Full review External link

    Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times Donaldson ... seems to have lost all talent for pacing. Full review External link
  5. Negative review
    Lou Lumenick, New York Post [Cage] shouldn't do any more movies in which his character signals his acceptance of a Faustian bargain by buying two candy bars. Full review External link
