This one wasn't easy for me to sit through, but in the end, it was well worth the watch.
Very good performance by Orlando Bloom, as well as by Charlie Creed-Miles.
They should have stuck with the title "ROMANS" because a certain passage in that part of the New Testament is really the central theme of the story, at least it was for me.
Most movies are easily forgettable, but not this one. I'm thinking about it long after watching.

A different sort of role for Orlando Bloom, as an ex-con fighting through his reality many years after being molested by a Priest of the church. It doesn't come off as yet another hit piece on the church at least. It is however, a dark and moody movie. It's not bad and also not great. The best part of it is that it had some language and skin. 6/10.
It has more depth to it than expected. Fair warning: it is not an Equalizer-type film. It's a different category altogether.
I watched this film while in Poland and was unexpectedly blown away. Orlando Bloom gives the performance of his career with another sterling supporting performance from Alex Ferns. At times this film is challenging to watch as the lead character is dealing with the repercussions of sexual abuse, however it is a subject matter that begs to be addressed and is dealt with exceptionally well.
Underrated gem.
Yes, it's dark subject matter but the message is bright.
PhenomEnal work by the cast! Orlando Bloom delivers a performance that should have been anything but swept under the rug. This one deserves your attention.

- TriviaThe film originally premiered in 2017 at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, but did not receive a U.S. release until 2020 when Saban Films picked it up during the COVID-19 pandemic. The actors Orlando Bloom and Janet Montgomery were really surprised when the film finally got picked up, as many years had passed and they thought it'd never see the light of day.
