Director Martin Campbell revisits his own material, reshaping it in a post-Cold War context. This time, the emphasis shifts to family bonds and moral reckoning. I found it unexpectedly moving and thought-provoking—it lingered with me long after the credits rolled.

The story feels dated, which isn’t surprising since it’s adapted from a 1980s British TV series. The plot is overloaded and the pacing drags, especially early on. Still, Mel Gibson's charisma and the vengeance-driven arc inject a jolt of excitement, earning it a couple of extra points.
