Before I review this, I just wanna say, my shock of finding out the great Nicholas Ball, had died yesterday, which is when, I watched this impressive, entertaining vehicle. I pass on my condolences to Nicholas's family, easily the best actor in it, stealing every scene. Though there is some bad acting in this, most people aren't at fault. Cool, well structured film, has a good script, excluding all the F and C words, which a bit trying, but for laughs, very entertaining, as in it's first 30 minutes, where it kind of lessened after. I loved the repentant stocky hero, a tired ex hitman, who's just been told some very bad news. He's someone I vouched for, and really understood. When he and his colleague go to collect on a debt, at the request of their boss, they inadvertently collide with some real drug dealing scumbuckets, also there to collect, but in a different way, for they're also involved in human trafficking, and the daughter of the soon to be slayed couple, looks mighty fine. But repentant Requiem returns to snatch away from her traffickers, and so begins a hunt down. I made this film for a big action one, which it really wasn't, but it's story, really got me in, with some really beautiful and potent scenes. The ones with Ball, who just owns his scenes. The main, was really good too, as well as young Hughes as the trafficked daughter. Liked the slow zoom in shots too, and a much appreciated, and unexpected last scene, where I cheered on the victor. It has a real coolness. The pre start featuring late Eastenders Leslie (Dirty Den) Grantham, although weird, as though trying to promote the film's company, was a cute little starter. Tight recommended drama. Films slap on title, doesn't befit story.
