Ratings and reviews

This was not a awful film but it was nothing to write home about either. The Irish protagonist gave a strong likable performance which really carried the film actually. The plot is not as original as people are giving it credit for a person who is doing the wrong thing sees the light and they try to redeem themselves it's been done quite a few times. This is the one time watch rental. That's it.

Overall, a watchable movie, however, there were too many cliche moments and times that I wanted to fast forward through scenes. The useless sex scenes were placed to get an R rating. They contribute nothing to the plot. It should have been PG-13. I hate it when a production company juices up the movie to get an R rating. So useless. I suggest watching this one on your Fire Stick instead of Google since their fast forward feature is so far superior.

I personally liked it. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time and was worried it wasn't going to be as well as hoped, but I found it enjoyable. David Tennant was wonderful and a unique bad guy, Robert Sheehan brought his charm I see in all his work, and it wasn't bad. The ending was a bit...lackluster, could have had a bit more to it. Overall, I liked it.
