Ryan Gilbey New Statesman 06/03/2013
It's the performances of Roth and O'Connell (and that of Peter Mullan as their imposing boss) that I want to highlight here. Go to Full Review Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard 05/17/2013
2/5
Films are invariably fuelled by fantasy but it's the supposedly gritty context that makes this stuff so hard to swallow. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 05/16/2013
3/5
A flawed but interesting downbeat Brit thriller with some creepy, leftfield jolts, calling to mind Mike Hodges with a twist of Tarantino. Go to Full Review Adam Lowes CineVue 02/25/2019
2/5
Straddles a number of interesting sub-genres. It's a shame these outwardly intriguing elements have to do battle with a predictable and pretty contrived story. Go to Full Review Matthew Bond The Mail on Sunday (UK) 10/31/2017
3/5
This British film is consistently just a little better and more surprising than it first appears. Go to Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) 05/18/2013

Trou d Dec 19 That half star is for Jack O'Connell. It's a two-star movie without him. His charming presence and comedic sense almost rescued this aimless exercise, but even he couldn't lift it to three. Story is everything in a thriller, and this one had none. I did watch it all the way through, but that was only because I wanted to be there when Riley reappeared. Wow, is she hot. The locations were good, too. Roth shouldn't play weary guys anymore because he just looks old and tired. I felt more sorry for him than for the victims. Anyway, if you can take a rambling plot and darkness, it's better than a lot of the trash out there. See more mark g @Mark_Alan_G. 02/07/2025 Slick, good look, strong performances, hip soundtrack. Strong flick and worth the watch. See more r96 s 09/24/2024 Good concept, half-baked execution. Tim Roth, Jack O'Connell and Talulah Riley give alright performances, though their characters aren't developed enough to care about nor to be entertained by. There's definitely a good story hidden, though I just didn't really find it interesting. The rushed ending doesn't help, either. See more 03/20/2021 Simply brilliant from start to finish. Nothing more to say See more 05/04/2019 almost a good movie - love Tim Roth, but not quite believable in this role See more 10/30/2018 This looks so awesome and Tim Roth is the best which makes it that little bit more brilliant.
