I actually was able to watch this film at a local film festival in my town and then caught it again in cinemas. I think it's changed a bit since then but I could be wrong as it has been some time.
My biggest take away was the actor playing Nate, the lead who I thought was quite dreamy with his dirty blonde hair and that accent gosh! But besides that, his natural screen presence is more than complemented by his acting chops. I really did think he did a terrific job and would love to see him in more films. I really think he would make an AMAZING young James Bond.
Gear is basically a crime drama that is more about the subtle details, those under the surface elements that not everybody is a fan of, which is fair, but then again others love like me. Takes a bit of investment of concentration in terms of following all the plot points and backstory, but nothing overtly complicated.
The climatic scene at the end is terrific, the cast, writing, and music really comes together in that scene, if you watch it you'll know what I mean.
