Um. I liked it, in large part because the movie-makers tell us the character is uber-competent, and then allow him to be uber-competent, and that doesn't happen very often. (To my great frustration.) But there's a very high body count (as suggested by the summery) and lots of nasty things happening to nasty people (and also to people who don't deserve it at all, which is what starts whole chasing-down-and-shooting-lots-of-people thing), so if that bugs you, don't watch.
