2.5/4
Grievous Bodily Harm is directed with hard-edged efficiency and a meticulous attention to detail, all the way up to the final sequence. Then it goes soft in the head. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

09/21/2020 A surprise twist ending saves this from utterly worthless garbage. I spent the first half of the film wondering what the actual plot was, as it seemed to have none. Scenes appear to have no continuity with one-another as if the parts were filmed at various times over a few years' span. Disjointed acting makes for a confusing array of interactions. Not worth your time, but if you do happen to watch it, the ending is fun. See more Read all reviews
