It has more depth to it than expected. Fair warning: it is not an Equalizer-type film. It's a different category altogether.

An excellent movie about a very sad and disturbing subject.
Orlando Bloom's performance was so well done I believed every look and sound of his character.
There are so many people who are in need of help in this world.
My hope is that this movie will help make a change, somewhere.
This moving has good acting, direction and purpose. I think Orlando Bloom showed he can really act, maybe for the first time in his career. I wish there was more closure in a few areas but overall it was very well done. It's a disturbing subject but really powerful and a good execution.
This is an incredibly topical film with all that has come to light over the last couple of decades. Orlando Bloom was incredible in this part. He holds your full attention from start to finish and has no trouble portraying the full scope of emotions his character is dealing with. This film deserves to be seen by a much wider audience than it's limited release will grant it.
A different sort of role for Orlando Bloom, as an ex-con fighting through his reality many years after being molested by a Priest of the church. It doesn't come off as yet another hit piece on the church at least. It is however, a dark and moody movie. It's not bad and also not great. The best part of it is that it had some language and skin. 6/10.

- TriviaThe film originally premiered in 2017 at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, but did not receive a U.S. release until 2020 when Saban Films picked it up during the COVID-19 pandemic. The actors Orlando Bloom and Janet Montgomery were really surprised when the film finally got picked up, as many years had passed and they thought it'd never see the light of day.
