Sean is a nine year old Brooklyn boy and he witnesses his mother's murder during a violent carjacking. Sean is obsessed and haunted by his past. He becomes a loner vigilante at age seventeen after vowing to track down her killer. He visits the local police station frequently to look through mug shots searching for the face of his mother's killer. He's a straight A student by day but by night he kills a drug dealer intending to make Sean another gun victim. Another man is beating a woman and he got away with beating a young boy but he doesn't get away from Sean. He also intervenes when a homeless man is taunting an Asian family on public transit. New homicide detective Teresa Ames takes an interest in Sean and his case.
It's obvious that Sean has a lot of mental problems from the trauma he suffered when his mother died. He also didn't get the treatment he needed at the time. The film is vague on some of the facts and the ending. You want to think that he finally was able to set aside his Sean justice system? 3 1/2* (I liked this movie.
