Wow! I'm really impressed by this movie. I thought it would be just another remake as the campy first one with Sylvester Stallone.
The acting is good and the story is also good.
Now, it is also the most graphical violent movie I have ever seen and I've seen many movies. An example of a scene is a slow motion of a bad guy getting shot in the face and the bullet exiting the cheek. This is a very realistic filmed gunshot wound, the most realistic I have ever seen in a movie ( I have seen my fair share of GSWs ). This is just an example and there is much more violence and gore than most will be comfortable from a movie. I won't give away the plot but I do recommend if you're not bothered by blood and gore.
