Acting: 5.0; Theme: 5.0; Content: 3.0; Language: 2.0; Overall: 5.0

Holocaust "survivor" Zev Guttman, who suffers from dementia, awakens to find his wife missing. His friend in the nursing home, Max Rosenbaum, also a holocaust survivor, convinces Guttman that he promised his wife that he would revenge the murders of both of their families who had died in a German concentration camp. Guttman sneaks from the home to seek out and murder the man who horrifically murdered their families, with the show more help of a letter that Rosembaum penned. Highly recommend.

Overall, the movie didn't use any vulgarity until about 3/4 of the way through the movie, and there were at least ten uses of vulgarity and one use of God's name in vain in a short period. There were also several very violent murder scenes.

A look into the life of troubled former hockey player Brian Spencer, who got into problems both on the ice and off because of his temper.
Great insight into Atom Egoyan. More people should watch his films.
