Review

  • When an Irish ex paramilitary (Colin Morgan) witnesses the accidental shooting of his pregnant wife he seeks revenge by looking to kill the soldier responsible (Ami Ameen), however his commander wants more from him first. The soldier meanwhile is due to be charged with the girl's murder but is instead recruited by secretive Mark Strong to seek out IRA members seen as a threat in London.

    Dark and gritty thriller full of genuine unpleasantness and indeed unpleasant characters throughout. Whilst the story gives us little that is particular novel, it is well crafted and maintains a solid level of tension with good performances by all with Strong as the tough, get it done whatever the cost leader, the standout.
