A gulf war veteran seeks vengeance against those who assaulted a single mother. Walking home with her 12-year-old daughter after midnight on the Fourth of July, Teena crosses paths with some local losers to be brutally gang raped with her daughter Bethie watching. Bethie is able to identify the rapists, but when the rapists hire a hot shot attorney who attacks Teena's character, Dromoor, a local police officer who was first on the scene when police were called, starts to take matters into his own hands. The timing and pacing are horrendous. It is utterly and completely predictable. The script is so bad it is often laughable. For a movie with a lot of courtroom drama, you'd think the writers would have familiarized themselves with at least a rudimentary knowledge of how trials work. Sadly this is not the case. <br/><br/>With such a bad script, and such bad directing and editing, it is hardly surprising the every single character is a flat uni-dimensional stereotype with no depth. With that in mind, it feels like a cheap shot to criticize the acting. but I will.<br/><br/>The acting is bad. Very bad. Don Johnson manages to squeak out a decent performance as a slimy defense attorney (he managed to turn some terrible lines into a decent character). Talitha Bateman actually shows tremendous promise and it will be interesting to see if she gets a role with a better script and director, where she could really shine. Nick cage is….well….Nick Cage, You either like him or hate him. I like Nick Cage but this is a more flattened out, much less interesting version. He's cast as the heavy cop avenger here, with little in the way of lines, so not a whole lot to work with here.<br/><br/>Everyone else is…just bad. But for the most part it's not their fault - its difficult to make a silk purse from a sow's ear.<br/><br/>Overall, it is difficult to imagine how anyone let this film see the light of day. It should have been sealed in a lead box and dumped into the ocean. Enter, Nic Cage, been the butt of several jokes, but when you sit down and watch this movie, hes totally different, he does not feel weird and quirky, hes solid, like a rock. Empty almost and hating what hes doing but you can tell he needs to do it to sleep better. Not a wonderful film, but definitely worth a watch if you hate scumbags.
The term “Match Perfect Mail” suggests that if you specify your standards for your excellent match, you can search an online dating site, find your perfect partner and bring her home! But if you want to increase your odds for true pleasure, you’ll need to take a lot more time and energy to get to know a partner and make informed choices about this very important decision. This is what dating is all about. Love and marriage is the most important and emotional decision in life. A person can compromise in his/her career but can’t in love life. We live for it and die for it. Half of the problems are gone away when your better half pampers you. But nowadays no one wants to get stuck in the traditional married life.
