This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

I would have given this a 1 star if I hadn't laughed out loud a few times. Banderas slept walked through this, or is on heavy medication. The producer and director must have felt sorry for him because part way through the movie they turned him mute....I missed how and why, but who cares. He's better mute. It would have been even better if they spared us his voice over narration.
The best part of the movie - where he is undercover in his '67 baby blue Mustang parked directly in line of sight of the bad guy's house, whom he knows, in daylight of course. But he was wearing sunglasses so he's invisible. To think people are paid to make this crap.

I loved this movie.Antonio was great in this as well as Carl Urban as usual. It was also great to see Paz Vega in this. I like how Antonio when through different phases of grief and the unique way in which he handled it. I'm a person who loves the power of coincidences as there really are no coincidences in life, and the writers used that in a very creative and believable way. I liked the small sub-plot - not real complicated but that's what I actually liked about this movie, Small twists of things that came into his life that actually helped him and added to his life. I loved this movie!!! 10 out of 10!

2/17/18. It was ok, not exactly original. I like Banderas and it was lot for him to take on such a vigorous role in his mid-50s. If you like get-even movies, then this one's for you.

Thanks to Liam Neeson, stars from 20 plus years ago are having a little resurgence amongst the direct to Blu Ray action films.Here, Banderas has 'Taken' the geriaction route, and has followed suit.Security wasn't a bad little 'Die Hard in a...' homage, and now the Death Wish routine is recycled once more.But the maguffin here is that special guest star Robert Forster basically tells Banderas that he doesn't want to hear him talk again, so he takes a vow of silence, but before all that, he gets drunk a lot, gets beaten up even more, takes some advice from Urban, and learns karate.The main plot device is rehashed from Jingle All The Way of all places, Banderas is a hardworking lawyer, whom is late for his daughters talent show, but instead of going on a hilarious journey trying to get a toy, his family are merdered.Then the film is split into chapters, the Russian mafia are involved, as is Paz Vega, and we are treated to some decent action scenes, that are reminiscent of Florentines other action vehicles.Obviously in films like this, there has to be an ulterior motive by another cast member, and although it's nothing special, or unsurprising, it makes for a decent finale.Banderas is fine in his role, but it's nothing more than your run of the mill revenge thriller that has been done to death, and will continue to because they are by the numbers stuff that satisfy that eighties action nostalgia we all yearn for.
