Gibson ottaa tylysti ohjat käsiinsä, polttelee tupakkaa ja käskee pojan hankkia sokeriaddiktion. Isäni ei vieläkään osaa tehdä jäätelöä, mutta sitä saa kojuista rahaa vastaan."
"First viewing - July 21st I didn't go into this with the highest expectations given how few of Mel's projects I've been interested in over the past decade or so. So I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The film reminds me a little of Payback, and while overall it's not especially original it IS very entertaining and I was never quite sure how it would end up. I'm not saying it's a great film, but it's one I wouldn't mind revisiting later on. Currently streaming on Netflix"
