Comments:
The film is a mix between a family drama and action, well you can't expect Dwayne Johnson to play pure drama right? ^_^. Interesting, with easy to guess plot. I think if the government agents were made even more aggresive like you saw in the matrix or bourne identity, it will add some thrill in the movie. Anyway, it's quite entertaining for a weekend movie and if you want to see something light and a little bit of thrill.
