    Slow mess getting nowhere

    Initially looking like another redemption story, and other secondary characters crossing paths. Possibly even hinting some upcoming action scene Unfortunately nothing happened. Almost 2 hours of characters struggling to tell their stories and how they want to get far from their demons, but as time passes by you start feeling it's goin to be a fraud. And it's exactly that. Could have skipped majority of the 2nd hour and just leave the last 5 minutes and would have been the same. Or even better as you would get one hour back. Acting is sort of ok but it's a shame they could not be used in a better way.

    Don't Bother Watching

    Poor acting. I would say everyone in this film does some pretty bad acting except Luke Evans, but even his character had the stereotypical Brooklyn accent and solemn tone. Some cliché scenes like the AA meeting where someone speaks to the group, then guess who speaks next - Luke Evans. The son looks like he's 30 but plays a character that I think is supposed to be around 17. (His mom says he's "impressionable", so that makes me think teens.) In one scene Adam (Luke Evans) says to his son that he was his age when he committed a murder. We know he was in jail for 16 years, so that would put Adam at around 33 years old, however Luke Adams is 44, and to me he looks like he's in his 50s in this film.

    The drug dealer uncle, sitting at his desk in an auto repair shop with a safe on the desk is pretty lame. All the dim lighting is cliché of the seedy drug underworld. The Jamaican accent of the female drug dealer isn't very good, not a genuine accent. I can never understand why casting can't cast actors with genuine accents, especially for accents that so many of us are familiar with.

    The film takes a long time to get to the real story, it was probably in the last quarter of the film that I realized where it was going. I prefer to know in the first quarter what the film is about and let it unfold from there. I wanted to stop watching it many times but was too invested to stop so I let it play, probably skipped ahead a couple times.

    [6.4] A small world that kills big

    A sad tale of small-world crime, drug, revenge, drama and father's love and redemption. From beginning to end, there's brutality, sadness, throat-clamping situations and some very intense moments whether emotional or heart-breaking in a brutal way.

    The character of Luke Evans deserved better, and the way the movie finished just doubled the sadness that's scattered throughout like deadly white powders.

    Great movie experience

    First, Luke Evens is absolutely great as a father and ex-lover looking for another chance!

    I understand the low ratings are probably from people who are not interested in human nature, what makes people do the things they do and how hard and tricky life can be but this movie kept me on edge the whole time as I was awaiting what directions the characters will take and where will that end them up because I could understand their struggles. I think all the plots were meaningful and the actors were good, especially Luke Evans.

    Based on current ratings it looks like it's not for everyone but I enjoyed this movie quite a lot and recommend it to people who like drama movies.

    Too Fake and contrived

    I like most of the actors in this which was my only reason for watching and across the film there are many fine performances. Problem is the actual plot, individual scenes and script that do not do the actors any favors. There are just way too many scenes that do not ring true. The type of scenes that only happen in bad movies. On top of it, how many times have stories like this been told ? There is nothing new here except that the story is completely implausible. It is well shot, someone did an excellent job on the cinematography but it's a shame that movies today are so bad that some fine actors are reduced to shoot a film that is nonsense. It's not a good thing to be watching a movie and thinking "Why would someone do or say that ?".

    • Trivia
      Filmed entirely in Manchester, UK. If you look beyond the focal points, you can clearly see traffic driving on the left hand side and outdoor background scenes are heavily blurred. Also the "dive bar" used in the film, The Star and Garter has yet to see any of the $10,000 that it was promised by the studios upon it's release
