I enjoyed this movie for several reasons. I found this to be a well written story. The movie is only about 80 minutes long, with a tight script. I appreciated seeing a different performance from Danny Dyer. He keeps a low profile and has a quiet menace about him. When his character Jamie snaps, it's very visceral. Yet when he opens himself up, it's very touching to see him risk being vulnerable. I also enjoyed the Kemps. Their relationship is one of the best things about the movie. This was my first introduction to Holly Weston and she is a very good actress. She and Danny Dyer have good chemistry together.
The killing and fighting scenes are well done. They feature not only Jamie's fighting skills but also his cunning and his planning abilities. The score is a great pulsing synthesizer sound which works to thrill the audience. This movie reminded me of The Samarai, The American, and Drive.
Since I saw and am a fan of Deviation, I had high hopes of enjoying this repairing of Danny Dyer with the director JK Amalou. I wasn't disappointed. You should definitely see Amalou's Hard Men for another good crime caper. 3.5/5 stars.
