THOSE THAT DEAL IN DEATH SHALL TASTE ITS FRUIT

If you read the Amazon editorial review you get the whole movie, including the "twist" you had already figured out. If you watch the film for Luke Hemsworth, he gets killed in the second scene and only appears in flashbacks. When Detective Jason (Hemsworth) is shot and killed, Detective Robbie Green (Jonathan LaPaglia) and his partner Jane (Viva Bianca) are on the trail.The film implies that Robbie and Jane were once an item to the dismay of his family. Robbie also likes his drink which he sips on all day while working. We know who the killers are in the film and why they are doing it. In fact they documented their deeds and made sure the cops got a thumb drive. Rachel (Hanna Mangan Lawrence) who has terminal cancer along with her mentally ill boyfriend AJ (Alex Williams) are on a killing spree, getting everyone who was involved in Rachel's sister hit and run death.This is not the best vigilante film out there, nor is it exciting crime drama...yet at the same time it isn't bad. You knew where the film was headed and I was hoping they would come up with a different ending...something with a clever twist from some useless piece of information I missed...but they didn't.The film uses Bible quotes in the killings, but not Samuel L. Jackson quality. In spite of what the film claims, Romans is in the New Testament, not Old. An okay rental if you're bored.Parental Guide: Occasional F-bomb. Sex. No nudity.
