He should have waited to see the horses until after the job was done. Being too calm got him killed.

Amazing Directorial Debut from Nick Rowland that is elevated by the performances from Cosmo Jarvis, Niamh Algar, and Barry Keoghan (I'll watch Barry in just about anything). While sometimes the script can get a little cliche or seems to dwell a little too long on its ending when its fat could be trimmed, the characters and raw emotions were so mesmerizing and fantastic to watch. The outbursts of violence helped raised the threat I felt

Raw and tough. No bullshit acting. Straight line story, predictable, but nicely done.

It's an honest attempt at a character study, Douglas being an emotional cripple whose tragedy is that he can sort of tell right from wrong, but can't put that to practice because he has the people skills of a lumbering thug. Ironically, this describes the film itself quite well: it's well-meant to a sentimental degree, but uses brute force (and a schmaltzy soundtrack) where depth and nuance are called for.

Most of the things in this movie are bleak. The setting, the people, the situation the characters are caught in, the dialogue. It's like being caught in a gray day that's chilly and has a constant drizzling rain in the air, but there are some warm moments in there. Brilliant acting from everyone in the cast, plus a kind of intense car chase thrown somewhere in there. Definitely liked this one. It's ugly, but in the exact way it's meant to be ugly.

While the story, for the most part, is fairly run of the mill....what really stands out for me is the acting and the cinematography. all the actors performances are solid and they manage to keep you quite engaged throughout the movie.

The story is your basic "forced to work for the mob" type deal. But the performances and general atmosphere keep you engaged. The last scene with him discussing with the old lady really sold me into giving it another 5 points.
