Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

mac-33983 This is truly how I welcome the cinema .. A story that has real world characters who have depth and soul... and knowing that it is based on a true story adds even further to the impact.The violence is portrayed in a meaningful manner, it is not glorified with typical Hollywood "drama", here it is cold, quick and without remorse...This is not a film that the mainstream media can love because it portrays the kind of reality that it far too heavy to immediately digest. It is in essence a philosophical/sociological view on the darker side of society.You can't just walk away from this film and forget it...

fredericmartin Just a quick review as I still feel this film is a bit overrated. I am a huge fan of independent films, strange films, not-as-the-others films or whatever... and usually enjoy even average killer-related films.I did not expect much... but this film did not reach this very average level. I saw many better low budget direct-to-TV-or-DVD films than this one.Dialogs quality is going worse and worse through the film... of course there is no real action but that's not even the problem... characters are empty. We totally don't care about the sad-mother side of the killer... and the four last scenes of the film are so bad it reminds me parodies.a REAL waste of time I hope you can avoid (that's why I am making my first review on IMDb).

Greywolf907 ...Like the previous poster, I am at a loss why this film has such a low rating.Taut, well directed story telling of the highest order, featuring pretty well unknown actors.....by and large thats what we have here...actors...not 'stars' I would rather watch this a million times than have to watch some drippy Hollywood movie full of teens and explosions.Highly recommended to anyone who likes their films British and well acted.It's a new take on organised crime, and keeps enough of the kitchen sink (literally) element that marks all great British cinema, well worth a watch.

roguegrafix As the last reviewer said, this is not your average Hollywood show. It's a cold, calculated look at the life of a contract killer. There's not much emotion - after all, killers need no emotion - and this comes through in the film. It's a simple tale, told simply with unknown but good actors. One reviewer said we are not introduced to the characters. Well, for the first twenty minutes we basically have a monologue of the main character describing her life, her loves and all the important characters in the film. What more do you need??? Apparently it's based on real life and that's what you get here - no Hollywood soundtracks to add to the ambiance. Perhaps the only criticism I have is that the main character is so devoid of feeling that it's hard to believe she loves her child. Perhaps that could be explored a little more. But something different to watch. Give it a try -- you might be pleasantly surprised.
