It's hard to say anything about this film really, it just wasn't that good, but it wasn't THAT bad either.
I went into it with relatively high hopes given the decent cast, and their performances were what kept my interest.
The story meanders, as it tries desperately to flesh out the backstory of all those involved without actually going far enough to make the viewer care about any of them.
An ex army descendant of a wealthy dynasty trying to get his inheritance, a struggling business owner, a murderer on the run, an illegal immigrant trying to make some cash to send home for his daughter, an old bloke and a work-shy little yob; that's your cast and that's about as much as we really find out about them.
There is also a love interest and a dodgy accountant, but despite being relatively important characters we find even less out about them than the rest.
Scenes vary from paint drying to graphic violence, but the one vein that runs through them all is the nonsensical decisions that continue to be made.
Any scrap of an interesting sub-plot gets hastily cast by the wayside in favour of the ham-fisted main story, thrown in to pad things out as much as anything else.
Plot holes are in abundance too, but in all honesty that's the least of the films problems.
I've seen a lot of comments claiming they did an amazing job given the budget, but I fail to see what these reviewers thought cash had been spent on.
Barring one particularly gruesome effect with a drill, the rest could have been achieved with a few hundred quid down at a hardware store, a dozen bottles of vampire blood from the Poundland and some facial prosthetics that wouldn't have looked out of place in a Hammer Horror from the 70s.
The actors gave it their all and for that they should be commended, there are a couple of laughs to he had, but there isn't much else here to enjoy.
