When a film titles says violent I'm thinking thats what I'm going to get, violence. But this movie pleasantly surprised me that it took itself seriously. A film that makes you happy that some movies have pride and care. Though not as violent as I thought the element of suspense and survival is at hand for a company at the top of it's game. A man derived to protect it and his family, and this film handled this topic well. And I utterly felt bad for one of the characters, about as tragic as it gets for this one particular character, but you'll have to see it to know. All the acting is outstanding from Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain, but I will admit I was annoyed by Chastain's character as she acted like such a hardcore individual that she came across as dumb sometimes, but she make up for it later on. It's an enjoyable film to watch and I'd recommend checking it out. Now to grade it: Acting: A- Characters: B+ Music: B- Story/Plot: A Directing: A- Overall Grade: B+
