The Real Review

People mostly dig the look of this Detroit revenge story, praising its slick '70s visuals and giving decent marks to the acting, especially from Ben Foster and Pablo Schreiber. But the real split is over the plot itself, the tale of Alan Ritchson's John Miller losing his girl and going to prison feels incredibly familiar, with many calling the story thin and lacking originality. Ritchson gets talked about a lot, but reactions are split right down the middle on whether he carries the film. For a fair chunk of viewers, this is a case of great style paired with a story you've seen before.
