The script to “A Man of Reason” too often relies on bare-bone archetypes over deeply etched characters.

A Man of Reason is a highly effective thriller that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat and satisfy the adrenaline junkies out there.

A very solid action film.

Brilliant though the action scenes are, shouldn’t one be watching them from the edge of one’s seat? You’ll be entertained. What you won’t be is transported, and that’s kind of the goal.
