L² Comment:

I wanted to like this film because Mel Gibson is an actor & producer who i admire so much. This movie is written by Gibson and directed by Adrian Grunberg who used to be his assistant director in Apocalypto. I try my best to watch it, but some part is a bit dull for me and i don't really like it. However, this film receive a lot of good critics from viewers. Congrats
