Basic plot spoilers here: Well-filmed, well acted plausible plot. Except of course that after killing the thug who almost killed his son, hassled his wife and assaulted his daughter sexually (without raping her) our hero wanders around after dumping the body over a cliff into the ocean, fishes the corpse's boot out of the water and later puts it on the corpse's foot, then again drags the body back to the truck he killed the thug in, drives to a police station and essentially turns himself in. What's the moral here? That it's bad to stand up for yourself when the police and the DA showed no interest in stopping the bad guy which caused our hero to take matters into his own hands??? And now that he's confessed he'll leave his family alone as he rots in jail and his family will undoubtedly be targeted by the dead guy's relatives.
He had all the time in the world on the private forested area he was working as a caretaker on to dig a very deep grave, dump the body and then cover it up. But no, we're subjected to him feeling bad about doing the right thing (protecting his family, for those of you too slow on the uptale) so eventually his conscience forces him to confess. BS. That's for suckers - just look at what the elites in U.S. today have gotten away with, do you think one of THEM would ever confess to their crimes???
The review that said this is 'Death Wish', Chilean style, obviously missed the point of that Bronson film completely. His character was just fine with meting out justice to those who deserved it, and this movie's character isn't. Fine - but this is no Death Wish and ultimately it bored me.
