Ratings and reviews

Those saying they were bored stupid then they must have been watching something else! The storyline is the focus, a thinking person's film... Tugs a little at the heart strings in places and if you can genuinely put yourself in Tom Hardy's character's shoes or even been though similar irl, then I am sure it will resonate... A genuine human being's film, The last few generations won't get it!... Not enough CGI or make-believe!

When I saw the preview I thought this looks brilliant, Tom Hardy who is getting better and better in every film he appears in. But this one is unfortunately a bit of a dull fest. Very unfortunate. He drives a BMW X5 and that's the film set for the entire film. There's a work storyline about the concrete industry he is in, his father, his family and something else I won't reveal but all this adds up to 85 mins of boredom. Not much tension and the ending is well rubbish. There isn't one basically. Shame.

A very difficult thing to do carrying a film on your own talent. I found the Welsh character he was playing interesting and engaging and wasn't the least bit bored as some peepz complained they were. A film like this shows much better how great an actor Hardy is than his other more plot and FX driven films.
