A merging of traditional action film with found footage, the film has a man who is slowly losing is memory going after the gangsters responsible for the death of his wife. He films his revenge as way of showing his infant daughter what he did.
This James Cullen Bresseck action film, is for the most part, a solid action film and testiment that budget isn't required to make a good action film. Its a well acted film with some great action sequences.
The issue at hand is that Bresseck has decided to intercut body cam footage along with CCTV into the fights. It might have sounded okay in the planning, but the problem is that it doesn't work as well as the non-POV footage, because the sudden shiftog POV pulls us out of the fights because we notice them, and because, as I said, it isn't always well done.
Don't get me wrong, I really like the film and understand why Bresseck is talked about reverently in some circles.
