Mark Wahlberg stars as the New York cop seeking revenge for the murder of his wife and child in the celluloid take on the celebrated video game. From his lowly place as a NYPD filing clerk, the tortured ex-tec’s off-message investigation turns up connections to a terrifying demi-monde where power is ruthlessly maintained with a ferocious appetite for bloodletting. Dark and visually stunning, it’s an action thriller tailor-made for baggy-trousered youth.
