Reviews

Alexander_Blanchett Pretty decent directional debut of Idris Elba. It takes partly place in Jamaica and partly in London. It has quite interesting characters, even if they are at times a bit stereotype. But he tries to look beneath the dread locks and mostly successes. The lead actor Aml Ameen was very good and an excellent choice for the lead. Great performance, very sympathich and versatile. I did not like Stephen Graham who totally hammered it up. But the rest of the cast, that also involves a beautiful performance by Shantol Jackson and the kid who played the young "D" got perfectly directed by Elba. Its a crime story. A revenge story. The story itself is not new, maybe just the setting and circumstances. The film is accompanied with great music and the atmosphere was perfectly captured in general. The ending is good and satisfying (which is something rare these days...) All in all a recommendable film, but not one that will win awards.
