The accents may not be perfect, but the sparring between father and son, with violence just underneath the surface, is convincing.

If palling around with a group of wastrel criminal types whose idea of fun is burning their possessions while running around shirtless chasing rabbits, then Trespass Against Us is the film for you.

The movie, lamely directed by first-timer Adam Smith, drifts from campground to fistfight, without much purpose or impact. The accents, thick as cold porridge, just drift.

A film like this needs sociological credibility, artistic distinction or, at the very least, interesting, engaging characters.

Director Adam Smith doesn't hit the mark with every chance he takes, but for the most part this is an admirable and successful effort.

Though thematically vague, thinly plotted and without a reliably sympathetic soul to cling to, the movie has a mutinous energy and an absurd, knockabout charm; even its violence is more quirky than brutal.

"Trespass Against Us" plays like the quirky indie-fication of the family gangster movie, its scrappiness overlaid with a patina of we're-all-in-this-together slickness.

A scraggly and much too familiar British family drama.

As a thief trying to break away from his criminal father, Michael Fassbender can't act his way out of this pile of grungy nonsense.
