A Masterpiece!
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
This film shows the aftermath of a Veteran returning home to England after serving in the middle east. The streets, the gang activity were a nuisance to this honorable young man. He was a man of "special talents" learned through combat. The local gangs, thugs brought about him unleashing his abilities on them. Tony Kebbell's very thorough movements when in a tactical situation were astounding. Having a professional background in Tactical Operations myself, I truly appreciated how he carried out his moves and handling of an AR / M-4 type weapon. Here was a man that wanted peace and tried to help others, only to be pulled back into using these methods learned. Sad but sometimes a reality. Excellent movie overall.
A soldier returns from serving in Afghanistan to a $hithole tower block estate, looking for a job, doesn't find one, but gets recruited by the 'intelligence service'....why? Because hes an ex para?Really stupid plot. Very unrealistic. The main actor has one expression throughout the entire film, no charisma what so ever. This is the guy that played the retard brother in Dead Mans Shoes.The gang is pathetic. There's a shoot-out at the end with no sign of police ever showing up.The whole film has the same mundane, going nowhere pace to it.The main character likes to punch his wall and spit at the mirror....I was really bored throughout. I didn't care about any of the characters or what was happening because the director doesn't make us feel anything.The ending was pitiful.Give this one a wide birth.
This movie was very good... but after a while in to the movie I noticed it was going way to slow, though still good enough for me to enjoy. Then when the ending came..I was furious...WHY the heck do all these low budget movies have to have these type of endings where the guy doesn't get the girl, or the main character dies??????? I don't get understand this trash writing!!!!! This is not entertaining, We want to see the cliché, we want to see the happy ending in a sense. What worth is it to have the main character that you come to love get killed and an ending to a story that leaves no justice with the bad guy winning??????? Wow Mathew Hope You are a Moron. And all director / writers like you are too. I can not believe you get funding for garbage movies like this. You disappointing talentless losers.DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE!! I WARN YOU the main actor is great, to bad the writers/ director sucks at doing there job.
The cinematography was fine, I actually like the fact that they made everything realistic. The only thing that is unlikable in this movie was the storyline mashed-up. There are things that are uncertain, there are things that are not clear or lacking of foundation.There was two main story that was mashed up in this story. First is the part where the main actor is dealing with the drug dealers, and second is the part where the main actor acquired a job as from another party.These could have been a better movie if the two main story was related to each other.Mystery unsolved about the girl.
