Mar 8, 2019 Simple revenge plot brilliantly executed.

Kylo G Jan 9, 2019 This great movie is a mix between laugh out loud funny (1st half of movie) and crazy revenge thriller (2nd half). I like that there's partition between the two because imo there's nothing worse than building up stress/tension to have it all deflate because they do something funny. It's a violent film but not as bad as some reviews lead you to believe. The movie watchers with a history of watching way more grimier movies (ie Prisoners) will find this pale in comparison. That doesn't mean that the violence here isn't fun and juicy... it's very satisfying. The acting is phenomenal because it feels like every single character is a normal everyday person, like we're watching some documentary about these people. What a great job at casting. Overall it's very good revenge thriller that's well worth the watch. For "normal" movie watchers who aren't used to seeing such "real" violence onscreen, this film could be a bit shocking. See more

Ron W Sep 14, 2018 Movie from Shaun Meadows set in a bleak English town as is his wont. Solider returns to his hometown to avenge the avenge the way a gang of men had treated his brother. Whilst he goes on a killing spree terrorising the gang who have since aged although some have not moved on, the story of mistreatment to his brother is told through flashbacks. The leader of the gang is a sadistic bully who is the local drug dealer and ring leader but Richard wants vengeance on everyone involved. The movie borders on the fantastical and particularly the killing spree is largely unbelievable. The lone man who is not convincingly cast is able to terrorise and kill a gang of drug dealers with relative ease. That said the movie does provide a good twist which I did not see coming. There are some tense scenes especially the last one. All in all the storyline is a little far-fetched but its worth the 90 minutes watching. See more
