IO? Not particularly. Decent premise, bad script, bad acting. Did I mention B Movie?
Note: I use the term B movie loosely as the original definition does not really apply in today's world, IMO.
-
This is one such B movie.

Actor Liam Neeson has denied he is racist, after admitting he once set out to kill an innocent black man.
Neeson has been facing a major racism storm since he made the comments in an interview, published by The Independent on Monday.
He said he walked the streets with a weapon around 40 years ago, hoping to take out his anger after someone close to him was raped by a black man.

To offset this, when 9-11 occurred, wouldn't you agree that most of the US was holding a bit of hatred for Muslims and wanting to attack any that they saw?

How does other people being racist offset someone else being racist?

Seriously? How have you not realized that logic does not apply to @DustinB3403?

This doesn't have to be racist, just a general attitude of being pissed off because a family member of his was raped by someone.
The same conversation could be had of 9-11 where many Americans wanted to beat the crap out of any Muslim person they saw, because they were angry. It's not lumping all Muslims as terrorist.
It's just a general hate at the time. To classify this as racist would be comparable to saying anyone who had an unusual thoughts of attacking Muslims must be racists as well.

You clearly didn't read or comprehend my statement in any way shape or form.

Being pissed off doesn't make you target a specific race to murder someone innocent. That's unrelated. That he was pissed is fine and natural. That he decided it was his race that was at fault, rather than the individual, is what makes it racist.
He could have randomly picked other inappropriate elements, too. What if the rapist was from Chicago so he went to Chicago to murder random people that lived there? What if the rapist was short so he went out to murder short people? What if the rapist was blonde and he went out to murder a random blonde?

Correct. And that was 100% evil and racist in every conceivable way. So you made our point completely.

That is what the entire US went and did after 9-11!
And it certainly has continued.

Um DUH.

"General hate" towards a race is RACISM by definition. That is exactly what it means.
-
Um, how insanely obvious is it that that WAS racism of the worst sort?

Right, and no one is denying that many Americans are terrible racists. In no way does that justify or offset someone else being racist.

The same logic was and is used today to classify Terrorist.
Oh you're Muslim, you must be a terrorist!

Absolutely, racism remains, especially in government. I just spent an hour dealing with it in Texas.

oh dang, i thought Texas IS a predominantly racist state though. Hence why I try to stay away.

He had thoughts of attacking and beating any person of color he came across. He was pissed, much like America was after 9-11. He didn't go and beat a person of color to death.
Having irrational thoughts during a time of turmoil is natural and he learned that his thought process was flawed and he's worked to correct it.
