This movie was fun to watch. I was yelling at the tv the whole time feeling mental! Good acting, I didn't know what was going to happen next which is rare. They took a lot of risks which made the film way better. I just couldn't wait to see what happened next.

I recommend to anyone that enjoys psychological thrillers or serial killer movies.

It says my review is too short but it's not so I'm adding some nonsense below to push it through. Great movie, should have more that a 6.0 in my humble opinion. Netflix was kind to bring this movie to my living room screen. Thank you Netflix for giving me a fun Saturday night. You are officially my best friend. More movies like "I came by" please.

This is an honest-to-goodness thriller that keeps you on tenterhooks.

The script is tight, and while it careens to a somewhat expected ending , the way the story is woven engages the viewer. I thought, for a while, that Hector could go on doing his ghastly acts with impunity because he seems so cool and smart that authorities cannot lay a finger on him. That's how effective the plot is to me.

It's a remarkable cast of relatively newbees headlined by Hugh Bonneville and Kelly MacDonald. I like, in particular, how Hugh Bonneville is able to conceal his fiendishness behind a cloak of aristocratic air and respectability; Kelly MacDonald's Lizzy awakens the maternal instinct in the female viewer. She portrays her effectively as the harried, worried and ordinary mom who just wants her stubborn son to succeed; George MacKay as Toby, the son who's clueless as to what he really wants in life but has a natural affinity with those who are maltreated or abused; and finally Percelle Ascott as Jay, Toby's best buddy, a young father who's torn between his love for his young family and close ties with Lizzy and Toby.

All these characters come together to produce a coherent, socially relevant and no-nonsense film.

Watch to enjoy it.

I started watching this in the background. The two graffiti kids are not much to look at and you don't have a reason to care about them... until you do. This thriller was unexpected and while the ending could have been better, it was just right. I hear what other reviewers are saying about cliche themes, but I didn't feel like this tile was pandering to that. Bonneville's performance as the ex-judge living a double life was spot on. The police were once again disappointing but not for lack of trying, the bad guy does bad things well, the entire supporting cast did their job to perfection! Give it a shot.

The start of the film was slow and although George Mackay did his best, he's a good actor, his character lacks depth and so isn't hugely likeable. Hugh Bonneville makes an excellent villain as to be expected. When the film gets going the 'jumps' work well and suspenseful moments are just that. I for one enjoyed the ending, it doesn't need explanation, just a little imagination. The script was not the best. When the police woman asks Percelle Ascott's character when he last saw Toby he says 'months ago' - what does that mean? 2months? 11?? The police never ask him to be more specific..really bugged me! Some of the direction is lazy or the director thinks we are stupid (there was no need to fixate on the road name sign when we already know what the house looks like and where we are). Weirdly though time moves very quickly in this film, yet there are no landmarks, ie a Christmas or maybe Toby's birthday. When you assume it's the next day it's actually 2 months later, which is weird. Overall once it gets going it's an enjoyable watch.

This is not the Hugh Bonneville you know and love from "Downton Abbey" and "Paddington".

This time in the Horror, Thriller, Mystery "I Came By" here comes the Judge you don't want to mess with.

Actors often told me in interviews that playing a Bad Guy is so much more fun.

Two Graffiti Writers (not Artists let's be clear about this) choose the wrong house to vandalise.

Kelly McDonald plays the role of the widowed mum of tagger Toby" (George McKay) who is a totally unlikeable, lazy, self-obsessed dickhead.

His mate is more sensible and responsible and can actually hold down a day job...one that literally opens doors for them.

Claret will be spilled, however it's more about the body count than the graphic violence, which is mostly offscreen.

This doesn't make "I Came By" any less powerful, just slightly easier to watch.

If you're looking for a Torture film keep walking there's nothing to see here.

On the other hand if you want a great storyline performed by talented actors then sit back, relax and enjoy the view on #Netflix.

Still not for the faint hearted.

Two thumbs up from me.
