I'm very torn on how I feel about this film, the quality really is all over the place. The acting is pretty consistently bad, the characters are boring and exaggerated, and the characters constantly make hilariously bad decisions.

That said, it does play with some interesting ideas and themes (even if it comes off as absurdly over the top and exaggerated at times). The ending will no doubt be divisive, but I personally found it intriguing.

I'd recommend watching, as long as you can overlook some of the hilariously poor dialogue and acting, as well as some logical inconsistencies and the grossly overused green lighting early in the film.

5/10, though I could see my opinion changing slightly as time goes on

DESTROYER, despite suffering from some pacing issues and logical confusion, devilets a compelling, nonlinear story carried on the backs of some excellent performances.

While at times the film felt as if it was hitting all the beats you would expect in an Action/Revenge story, but without spoiling the third act, it did its best to add some unique twists to the otherwise conventional story.

Some characters remain underdeveloped and seem to exist only to serve Kidman's arc, and the film almost comes to a grinding halt whenever it focuses too heavily on Kidman's relationship with her daughter. Also, during the daytime, the film is almost shot like a procedural crime drama.

Overall though, the result is a thought provoking action film with plenty of redeeming qualities. I would rate it either a 6 or a 7.
