I just caught this movie on Netflix last night while just looking for something to watch while folding laundry. I gotta say I really enjoyed it. Looks like it came out in 2012. I totally missed it then. Glad I stumbled upon it last night. I'd say it's worth a watch if you haven't seen it.

OrgussYeah, it's been collecting dust in the Netflix archive for a long while. An underrated movie, to be sure.

P220 SmudgeYeah, it kinda flew under the radar, I think because the hate for Mel was pretty fresh at the time. I had never even heard of it until I saw it in the used DVD section of a pawnshop, so I figured for a few bucks, I'd give it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised.

Actually, yes. With the narration by Gibson right from the start, it immediately made me think of Payback.

I watched another Gibson movie called
