The plot is very simple, a revenge drama. It is very predictable too. The main actor is kinda meh in showing expressions. But the other actors compensate for it. Especially the kid who plays the villain's child version in the flashback is terrific. His performance stands out the most. Other side actors are good too. But since the other important factors for this movie are average, whole movie looks average. You might still want to go back and re-watch certain scenes because the gore is done well (not realistic tho, it's 2009 what do you expect). But whole movie is ... okayish I guess?
