I somehow missed this one from James Wan. Leaving the horror genre to do a straight up revenge thriller, with Kevin Bacon going all Taxi Driver at the end.

This is really really straight forward. It's the same as pretty much every revenge thriller ever made, a gang kills his son and he takes the law into his own hands. Nothing new.

There are some good action beats, I particularly liked the sequence of him being chased through a multi-story parking lot, which end in a confrontation between Bacon and Leigh Whannell. As you can imagine things don't end to great for Whannell.

There's not much more to it than that. If you like these kind of flicks you'll probably find this one an alright addition to the list.
