Critics panned it!! , better than 80% of audience liked it.
Nice to see Bruce Willis back.
My wife I and were entertained and enjoyed the movie.
8 out of 10 , for what it is.

I will probably see it. I like Bruce!  A film like this is kind of 'review proof' for me- I don't expect The Unbearable Lightness of Being! :wink:  Just some dumb escapist fun.

I can't wait to see this...screw the critics. I grew up on 70s and 80s vigilante films...it's in my blood.

I remember that movie from my Charles Bronson days.

I will see it, I like Bruce Willis. I wish he had made RED 3 instead, and I'm not sure he can compare favorably to
Charles Bronson...
Should be good though :D

It pretty much gave you exactly what you wanted. Reviewers are acting like it is suppose to be high art... its not, so dont rank it that way.

I will see it at some point.

Mentally I am trying to rationalize the typical Willis smirk to the dour, determined face of Bronson!

I was one of the 'lucky' ones that saw this (at a preview showing) before it was released.

I loved the Bronson version, hated this one.

The majority of reviewers I read, were not acting like it was fine art. Most were reviewing it for what is is, and disliking it based on that.

I saw it before any reviews were available, and my opinion paralleled the reviews I read later.

I know they say they are not reviewing it like fine art, but you cannot find any action film they rate highly. It is just a way to try and get people not to attack them. It is like saying, "I have always been a fan of you but this time I found what you say dispicable." Which is a way of trying to convince someone they are above their recent actions, to align with your ethos - quiet possibly despite the person having been the exact same all along.
