Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for action fans. If you loved Born on the Fourth of July or Casualties of War, start here. Audiences love it more than critics do: a crowd-pleaser first.
The mood: Exciting.
The pace: Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 31 min.
What might put you off: Rated R: expect violence.

Decorated Vietnam hero, Frank Vega returns home only to get shunned by society leaving him without a job or his high school sweetheart. It's not until forty years later when an incident on a commuter bus makes him a local hero where he's suddenly celebrated once again. But his good fortune suddenly turns for the worse when his best friend is murdered and the police aren't doing anything about it.
