DeadBankerDream 07/20/21 2:28:56 AM #7:	It's kind of a bad movie that needlessly rewrites history for the sake of the sappiest hollywood story you can possibly imagine.

If "man swears revenge on man that killed family" is the sappiest hollywood story you can imagine then you have a serious imagination deficit.
