I don't understand both the IMDb score and the positive reviews here. I must admit the beginning was fairly ok - punishing murderer's sins could have led to interesting situations and psychology, but the whole point was undermined by everyone acting unbelievably stupid and/or reckless and by the filmmakers, ignoring basic rules of what is possible.

The murderer is outright invincible. He breaks his wrist and has Achilles tendon cut and yet nobody can resist him. He proceeds to kill every person he bumps into although this must have brought unwanted heat on him quite fast. The special agent disregards the growing number of casualties to keep torturing the murderer in the name of his wife, which says more about his cynicism than his caring for her and potential future victims. The police is totally inept and don't get me started on the victims behavior.

Since the first killing after the murderer was let go the whole plot became ridiculous and messy and the violence pointless. The motivations and deeds of the characters were revealed as fantastic, stupid and inconsistent, and at that point I stopped caring about the movie completely and was just waiting for the end which came way slower than I hoped for. All in all, huge disappointment.
