Reviewers or actually viewers of movies have now said it's ok for a movie to not have a solid resolution to the ending of a movie and directors are now doing this because its EASIER!!! Not having an ending is like bot including the last chapter in a book!! You wouldn't accept that DONT except a movie to do that!!! This movie was entertaining and well acted but gets knocked down 2 stars for a guess how it all ends ending!! STOP DOING THAT!!!!
Nigel o'Neill is terrific as the farmer, who takes revenge against those responsible for the death of his beloved mother.
It's hugely gritty, intense and of course has moments of violence, but it is laced with several moments of humour, which help to lighten up what could have been an overly grim film.
It's a good old fashioned tale of revenge, but there's a complex backstory, and some aspects which are perhaps very realistic, such as the forced prostitution.
Susan Lynch steals the show for me, Franky is definitely the most intriguing and bold character. Lynch plays the psycho incredibly well, dwarfing those around her.
Very enjoyable. 8/10
That's not even...... Yes it is.

Decent revenge crime-thriller with old hidden family secrets that unravels as the story reaches its climax. A middle age Irish farmer and caretaker becomes aware of secrets that were kept away from him as a young boy. I gave it a 7 out of 10. The villains are not that scary but the story twists makes up for it.
This exceeded all my expectations and really delivers a punch to the guts that leaves the viewer reeling in many scenes!
Good acting , unexpected moments and a real engaging story for once. Quite frustrating as you just wanted the bad guys to get it but the film treads a more true to life and unexpected line which keeps the viewer frustrated and wanting to see more...Great storytelling as the backstory slowly evolves.
If you are looking for something more without the frills and spills of unlimited CGI and dross story-line and remakes we see delivered to Netflix and Amazon seemingly weekly then this will surely satisfy, its a masterful performance from the main character and a really unexpected set of quite nasty characters and events all mixed into a really satisfying Irish thrill-soup!

A black comedy thriller that works on multiple levels. Chris Baugh's feature debut very violent and dark yet never loses the comical touch which keeps the viewer close to the protagonist Donel, the middle-aged farmer whose revenge for the murder of his mom serves as an unravelling of the whole film. With such a premise the direction of the story could have gone to many places yet it stayed through the simple Donel all the while keeping it interesting. Without relying on too much character exposition scenes or monologues the film lets the events describe the characters yet retaining enough background for them to be effective.
