The story or motivation of the main actor is the old cookie-cutter family-is-in-danger thing.
So you know how it will end even before you see it.
The worst moments of this movie were about the skin color. I live in a reality where the skin color does not represent education, environment and character of a person. So every time skin color was brought up, I sighed REALLY hard. The problem with it was not the fact that it was there, but the on-the nose way it was brought up.
I did not liked the third act. The way he suddenly knows everything and can move despite a incredibly heavy injury ruined the "suspension of disbelief". (hardly a spoiler for those kind of moves)
Camera work and cinematography were bad.
What saves it, is the acting. Omari Hardwick had a great performance. He was believable in his desperation for the most part. Without him, this movie would have been much worse. His relationship with Lorraine Burroughs felt genuine and it seemed they had some chemistry. Not much unfortunately, because character development is barely there, but the few scenes they shared were good.
Loretta Devine... oh boy. She is an amazing villain. She was scary and very intimidating.
It is not a great movie, but one that had some interesting aspects. I definitely enjoyed the watch.
