A man is out for justice after a group of corrupt police officers are unable to catch his wife's killer.
Mediocre actioner oscillates as revenge drama, buddy story and political thriller without deciding what it really wants to be; despite the star cast it very much has the feel of an 80s B-movie.
Clark Kent, one of the last of an extinguished race disguised as an

invaded by an army of survivors who threaten to bring the planet to the
brink of destruction.
Good variation of the Superman saga thrills with great production and effects and a nicely assembled cast; alas, the final duel gives the term 'collateral damage' a whole new dimension.
Maltin**1/2: "...never quite soars, despite a promising start...the second half of the movie, a nonstop demolition derby that resembles a loud, raucous TRANSFORMERS movie and leaves its characters on the back burner. A good cast, led by the finely chiseled Cavill, can only do so much with this material."
