Very positively surprised; great and original script, very good acting especially by Payne, flawless dialog, good photo, action, romance and suspense, even morals...what more is to ask from a film?
Payne's voice, expressions and lines seem an early copy of Clint Eastwood in the 1970s. I would be very surprised if Eastwood and potentially also the directors he worked with did not get inspired from Payne here, and potentially in other movies, as an ideal super tough but morally good person.
Agree with other reviewers that the first half is the best - with impressive suspense, acting, and especially dialog - but it ends quite well too. Overall one of the best of the genre.
