Fresh out on the streets from a 10-year prison sentence, a killer is focused on seeking vengeance against his beloved sister's murderers. Aided by those he believes he can trust, they go on a 24 hour killing spree to settle all scores as a discredited detective, whose superior questions her every move must deal with her past before she can uncover the shocking truth behind their motives. —Charles Fyffe

I'm really torn on this one
This was a recommendation and a movie I'd certainly never had watched otherwise. Not only do I generally dislike British cinema but I hate any "Gangster" related nonsense especially such low rent stuff like this.
It's a revenge tale, a newly released convict (but we don't know what he had done) seeking retribution against drug dealers that may or may not have killed his sister. On paper this movie stood absolutely no chance with me, but it does have redeeming features.
It's paced perfectly, it's wonderfully constructed and the 4 main characters gel very well. It succeeds in making you absolutely question just who are the antagonists, to levels I wasn't expecting.
It was smarter than I would have given any film of this type credit for. The double story telling was interesting if not lingered a little too long on the police side of it. Fiona Skinner, who plays the main detective was believable of someone having a bad day and held her own in all her scenes even when she was beaten.
It does have its low budget flaws, and as much as the filmmakers highlight it was shot in 8 days (I'm sure there was a reason for this) it would have benefited with a few more. But when it put it in to context, 8 days, low budget and you get this result it made me a bit more tolerant for this genre of film.
So for me this was better than it should have been, but does have its issues.
