Thriller. Action Jim is an average New Yorker living a peaceful life with a well-paying job and a loving family. Suddenly, everything changes when the economy crashes, causing Jim to lose his job, home and wife. Filled with anger and rage, Jim snaps and goes to extreme lengths to seek revenge for the life taken from him.

	Author	Review
United States	Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times	"It's not the worst idea for a revenge fantasy, but Jim's payback is so lacking in logic and reality, not to mention tension, that it proves more laughable than cathartic"	NEG
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"This zeitgeist-tapping revenge fantasy doesn't deliver enough guilty pleasures"	NEG
United Kingdom	Mark Adams Screendaily	"The scenes of random killings are rather uncomfortable, and are at odds with the film’s set-up in trying to make Jim a blue-collar anti-hero"	NEG
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"The only way this equation works is if audiences are themselves so upset that they buy into Jim's behavior."	NEU
United States	Steve Macfarlane Slant	"Uwe Boll’s insistence on plugging genre tropes into his imagined idea of populism returns us to the same cynical place as 'Postal', except with none of the sizzle (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
