I feel sorry for people who come to read reviews of this movie before actually watching the movie itself. It seems as if the people that disliked the movie just let the entire premise of the movie wash over them and didn't pay attention to details. Snipes is an ex-CIA operative seeking revenge on gun manufacturers for the death of his daughter in a school shooting. Of course, we all know that guns don't kill people, so it is snipes who wishes to incite a debate on the second amendment in order to bring about greater awareness of gun control, using the major arms dealers as pawns to push his message.
**SPOILERS AHEAD (But do read if you would like insight into the movie) ***
1) Snipes never kills an innocent person. The cop was crooked (remember the part where he bought the drugs). The senator's son was crooked, and also were the agents out to kill liberty. He proves that he is an excellent shot, but never kills any of the swat team even though he has perfect opportunities. (He wounds one and hits the wall by another) THIS WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT! He meant to miss.
2) There is a reason that he shoots himself. If you don't believe me listen to liberty's comment on how her father was her hero. Also refer to the part about how snipes has his trust in liberty. (The tape is being played in the background as he shoots himself to emphasize the point)
***END SPOILERS***
There are more, but of course you'd have to watch for them yourself. I think this was an excellent movie that was both well thought out and presented a good message. The cinematography was at times reminiscent of an indie film, which I thought was very well done. It's a shame that a group of people who didn't understand the full meaning of the film would lower it's rating.
