In an interview back in 2011 with Prison Legal News, the actor revealed that his uncle got him to smoke marijuana as young as 8 years old.
“And it’s funny, when I say that to like a normal citizen they’re kind of appalled. But I say that to a convict, they say okay we know,” he said. “He got me loaded. I threatened to snitch on him if he didn’t give me a fix, I was about 12. And from then on it was just whatever drugs were available.”

No wonder the writers are on strike. Being forced to try to bring freshness to the same tired ideas over and over to get some studio work must be frustrating. I would be picketing Lionsgate (who is behind this movie) just because it’s really not easy making this kind of thing original. The latest ripoff — and it literally is because it comes from the 2015 Spanish film El Desconocido, which itself has been remade more than once in the past few years — is the Liam Neeson starring Retribution. A better title might be Generic Neeson #9. I even looked up the title on IMDb just to make sure this was a new Neeson movie.
