Decent remake of a Charles Bronson classic. Jason Statham did a nice job Stathaming things up, and the guy who was his apprentice/whatevs (the one that played Angel from X-3) was also pretty good. Main problem was the film was too dark; not too adult or anything, although I was disturbed by the number of people who brought children to the murder-fest, but the film itself was literally too dark and it started making me sleepy. Overall, I'd give it a solid B and say it's worth a matinee.
