Maria Vittoria V @mvvvvvvv Feb 7 I experienced first hand a gang tragedy in London when a 13 year old boy was stabbed in front of my doorstep. This movie felt real and crude. I found it deeply sad but brilliant See more 09/18/2020 A terrific movie, unintended consequences and how the actions of the male of the species at different points in their lives impact on those and society around them. Aiden Gillen is very good, better than in Maze Runner by far, and the final segment of the movie is powerful given his lead, the supporting cast is also good with Jon Slinger standing out for me. It's a film that makes you think, and the ending may even make you cry! See more 09/18/2020 This film took my breath away, it robbed my heart for 90 mins and returned it slightly altered. The study of a man falling apart, the relatable reality of those crossroads we all face and how easy it is to take the wrong turn. A deeply moving film. See more 05/26/2019 Absolute waste of time. The idea of the movie is not new but it's ok, everything else is b o r I n g, motionless and meaningless acting. See more 06/27/2017 Strong performances and vivid production design buoy up this evocative, troubling film that shows flashes of brilliance from writer/director Simon Blake, making his feature debut. See more 06/29/2016 Im not sure how i really feel about this English flick. Part of me wants to really like it and part of me really wants to hate it. The move centers around a man (Aiden Gillen) Tom Carver who has just lost his teenage son in a hit and run accident and is quickly starting to unravel in his personal life with excessive drinking and drugs. The only thing really keeping him together is his ex-wife and current live in girlfriend. Outside of this dilemma is the ongoing investigation of violence erupting in the neighborhood by other teenagers in which one of his good friends is trying to help investigators clean up. Eventually one day Carver bumps into a teenage boy who initially wants to confront him with an attitude before Carver apologizes and they go separate ways. But the boy isnt as forgiving and has managed to follow him home where for the next few weeks he and his buddies harass and intimidate Carver as much as possible. Finally Carver's indifference takes its toll as the group of teens eventually beats and rapes his girlfriend in which they leave her a note to give to Carver. The girlfriend leaves but Carver still does not want to make any kind of stand and only reports the kids (who he cant really identify) after the rape takes place. The breaking point for Carver seems to come when another young teen whom he was trying to help at a local school and who was being bullied by the other group of teens gets severely beaten up one night. With Carver's friend urging him to do "whats right" because the justice system is broken down they manage to track down the teen that initiated all the harassment, etc. I wont go into too much detail because people may want to check this out as it got a pretty good rating on IMDB but part of my problem with this movie is what is done from this point on. In some ways i understand what the director was doing and why but on the other hand i just have no sympathy for the teen boy. I dont know if that makes me some kind of psychopath because i would feel differently in those circumstances but ive always been huge on personal accountability. But, perhaps because of the little twist at the end is the reason why Carver did what he did at the very end vs what i probably would of done. It was just hard for me to pull for Carver here because there was just a general lack of anger and indifference for most of the movie. I just dont know how to score it because the plot is good, its shot well but it is a bit slow and really doesnt seem to pay off the way i personally wanted it to. Anyway, worth checking out if not more for curiosity sake. N/A See more Read all reviews
