Bruce Willis takes a redundant back seat in another vigilante thriller about a man in the wrong place at the wrong time - swapping Die Hard for Death Wish , cops for firemen and a real leading man for Josh Duhamel.

Threatened by a drawling Nazi after witnessing a murder, Duhamel’s crack-shot firefighter skips the police protection offered by Willis and Rosario Dawson to take down an entire white supremacist gang on his own.

David Barrett’s daft, generic revenger barrels along nicely (often nastily) enough, but it must have missed going straight to DVD by a whisker.
