Synopsis: Beck makes a living as a loan shark enforcer, but wants out. He is promised that, with just one more rundown, he could earn enough to be free once and for all.
Reaction: This is a fun movie. Not Shakespear, but there's good action and Johnson's character is interestingly cocky and humble.
Personal Rating: 8/10 |
