This is a crime family movie with very little atmosphere despite the excellent cast and acting. Way too much personal time unrelated to the thin, predictable plot meant a lot of fast-forwarding was necessary. Overall this is a pretty unrewarding film I wouldn't recommend, although it's on par with a lot of tv crime dramas and much better than any of the recent Bruce Willis or eric Roberts movies...

A small, but really suspenseful thriller with some surprising twists. I liked the acting and the structure as well as the cinematography.
Good one!
Saw it at the Snowdance Festival in Germany in 2022. Could have used subtitles, though.

Started out strong but lost momentum very quickly .
The movie starts out with the leader of a crime family getting snuffed out on a golf course by a hitman and we see his widow step up to take the reigns of his criminal empire with the help of her son but it soon becomes clear that she bit off more than she can chew and struggles to keep everything and everyone in line.
Though the cast is very strong but the plot unfortunately isn't. It's a very predictable story and its twist reveals its hand way too early in the film which makes the last act boring and it dragged really bad towards its unsatisfying end.
Something that bothered me though Not sure if they were tributing reservoir dogs or just ripping a huge part of it off completely but its all i could think about during some scenes.
Overall its a watchable film very solid in parts and the actors really do shine but it's no classic though and will be forgotten very quickly among all of the other of the U. K''s attempts to make the perfect gangster movie.
