Ryan Gilbey New Statesman 06/03/2013
It's the performances of Roth and O'Connell (and that of Peter Mullan as their imposing boss) that I want to highlight here. Go to Full Review Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard 05/17/2013
2/5
Films are invariably fuelled by fantasy but it's the supposedly gritty context that makes this stuff so hard to swallow. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 05/16/2013
3/5
A flawed but interesting downbeat Brit thriller with some creepy, leftfield jolts, calling to mind Mike Hodges with a twist of Tarantino. Go to Full Review Adam Lowes CineVue 02/25/2019
2/5
Straddles a number of interesting sub-genres. It's a shame these outwardly intriguing elements have to do battle with a predictable and pretty contrived story. Go to Full Review Matthew Bond The Mail on Sunday (UK) 10/31/2017
3/5
This British film is consistently just a little better and more surprising than it first appears. Go to Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) 05/18/2013

mark g @Mark_Alan_G. Feb 7 Slick, good look, strong performances, hip soundtrack. Strong flick and worth the watch. See more r96 s 09/24/2024 Good concept, half-baked execution. Tim Roth, Jack O'Connell and Talulah Riley give alright performances, though their characters aren't developed enough to care about nor to be entertained by. There's definitely a good story hidden, though I just didn't really find it interesting. The rushed ending doesn't help, either. See more 03/20/2021 Simply brilliant from start to finish. Nothing more to say See more 05/04/2019 almost a good movie - love Tim Roth, but not quite believable in this role See more Frances H 04/27/2019 Okay, but not really good--it should have been done for a comedy, like SNATCH. See more 10/30/2018 This looks so awesome and Tim Roth is the best which makes it that little bit more brilliant. Have watched already few times using boxxy software See more Read all reviews
