    The other Life
    Not even going to the golden spoon kind of thing that we all know. This is about really having it tough. Life is tough in general I know, but for some it can be even tougher. Now there even worse situations than the one(s) depicted here, but you can argue like that many times.

    So having to turn to crime - well it is a choice, but it sometimes does seem like the only way to go. This is down and dirty, grim and quite dark. And it is played that way ... with guns feeling heavy and not just a prop like in any other action movie. So reality may sink in and may be something you do not like to see in movies. If you do though, then the movie here will satisfy your needs ... very well (naturally) acted too.
