Sean Donovan is a quiet high school student who witnesses injustices everyday at his school and on the streets of New York. As a child, he suffered under an alcoholic father and witnessed the brutal killing of his mother during a carjacking. He confronts two thugs one night and shots one in self-defence. He is mentoring under detective Bill Baldwin in NYPD Homicide. He secretly trains hard and uses the police database. Single mom Teresa Ames is the aggressive new detective at the division.
Sean is Deathwish Jr. I want the movie to concentrate harder on that. I don't mind Teresa Ames by herself but I don't like much of her other interactions. I don't really buy the mentorship unless Baldwin is fully involved in the vigilantism. I want more scenes of Sean hunting down criminals although I question the subway crazy. The man is not evil as much as disturbed. I also can't see how he gets away with beating the school bully with so many witnesses. I really like the Deathwish Jr. premise. This is trying to do more with varying success.
