Stop Teaching Our Kids to Kill is a short and easy read on the topic, written for a general adult audience, particularly parents.

In short, the FBI Indianapolis office’s handling of the investigation was either conveniently incompetent or involved a deliberate cover-up.

One expects this to be a short, no-brainer, action-packed, light entertainment. And that’s what it mostly is.

Mostly enjoyable romantic dramady and very funny at times, but the plotting and pacing plateau in the second half of the series.

This sequel is a more focused story, so it is not as fun but it is still a decent, enjoyable film.

Mostly nonsensical, try-hard crime-thriller drama that drags on for way too long.

Tries to be a vigilante-revenge film but fails to achieve much of anything.

A comedy about an assassin and his assistant told to lay low and not kill anyone. Could be funnier but still a solid film that is enjoyable.

Not a Taken clone but rather a vigilante-revenge black comedy. Enjoyable and recommended.

Tries to be a gritty vigilante-revenge film but execution is lacking. The action and logistics just feel awkward.

Not intended to be a shoot ’em up but rather a mystery-thriller. Starts off a little trippy but becomes a little too predictable.

Instead of thugs, McCall is going up against skilled operatives like himself. Lacks the energy and emotional satisfaction of the first film.

In some ways the Korean version of La Femme Nikita. Nicely shot revenge flick but perhaps predictable.

Tries too hard with the conspiracy. Not bad but can use more and better action.

Clichéd premise, which is fine, but is unfortunately poorly executed in most respects.

Glaring stupidities are a turn-off. Wasted opportunity with Milla Jovovich and Pierce Brosnan.

It is well-produced but is not particularly memorable. The first film is the best and the most satisfying.

Some nice set pieces initially, and nicely shot with decent sound editing too. Not bad but lacks wow factor and not particularly memorable.

A decent follow-up but the first is still better.

Decent production and performances but, for a crime drama-thriller, it is too slow and not intriguing or thrilling.
