I was really looking forward to watching this film when I rented it. I had read the synopsis on the back and the plot seemed very solid and interesting, and I really felt that this would be an enjoyable film. And it started out pretty well I thought. But by the time it reached it conclusion, I found myself agitated, not paying attention, not caring.
I see the major problem as being not enough character development; I didn't feel anything toward the title Irish vigilante brothers whose parts in the film flipped between merciless killer to God-serving Angel of Death with little to no transition (and little and mainly ambigious background on them). And the manner in which Willem Defoe's character "converts" from FBI detective to vigilante is ludicrous and stupid. All in all, I was very disappointed in what could have been a very excellent film that fell apart due to a lousy script and mediocre acting.
