I
heard about this movie while watching an interview called Welcome To
The Punch and decided to check it out because of the title and
because Mark Strong is who I would want to be if I were brought back
to life as a White guy. He just looks badass. This is about a
detective in England named Max Lewinsky played by James McAvoy
chasing after a criminal named Jacob Sternwood played by Strong. And
then the story starts to fall apart after that.
During
a heist Strong shoots McAvoy in the leg making him miserable. He is
the one that got away. Strong comes back after years away when his
son is caught up in some shit that ends up making a 90 minute film
seem like two hours. The first scene is cool with the heist and
watching McAvoy obsess over catching Strong. But then it turns out
that everyone that has a shadow is dirty and it is just a cliché
movie that wastes two awesome ass guys. Lots of great actors in this
actually but for nothing. This could've been an awesome movie with
some trimming and rewrites. Then I noticed it was written and
directed by the same person and sighed.
