The film simmers low, and takes its time to unfold but once it does, it provides for all the pace you ever needed. The pace is slow but this is executed in such a masterly manner as to create an almost narcotic essence from which you can hardly escape. In a completely unrelated note, the rape scene was awfully disturbing.

Too slow. You will fall asleep before endure to the end.

"Hodges, working from a bleak Trevor Preston script, is fascinated by the aspirations, desires, and base compulsions that propel society's murderous fringe population." - Nick Schager

Oh dear. If you going to take yourself this seriously, you better have some top notch actors, and the casting in this is dreadful. A deeply unsatisfying ending too.

A slow, boring, and uneventful crime drama.

Not bad.

Slow but packs a whallop when it wants. A decent entry in the revenge category.

well acted , slow burning thriller fizzles in the end

The movie has a partially interesting first act. The second and third acts flounder so horribly that I could sell them at a fish market. The direction, and writing is dryer than Queen Elizabeth II. I've never been able to predict where a movie was going so clearly.
