A very dark tale that effectively takes the conventions of the revenge thriller genre and molds them in a unique way. These elements culminate in a bold and emotional study of grieve and the devastating actions it can lead too. Well worth your time!

Although this isn't really my type of movie I was most surprised at the quality of the writing. This is a stellar script and I believe this writer is going places, without a doubt the best and most impressive thing in this film. The dialogue was so good it almost felt at odds with the film in some moments. Witty character interactions galore, this also has astute satire, genuinely endearing character moments, not least from the central protagonist who is thoughtout teetering on the edge of catastrophe in everything he does. And the performances really hold their own which allows the dialogue to flourish even more. My criticisms would be the somewhat pasted in rolling background soundtracks, I would have much preferred an interesting soundscape/sound design to allow the awkward comedy to do its thing. Also I feel that the staging often felt static, no one really moves while they are talking so the film is 90 percent static conversations... Great conversations, but I thought it would definitely benefit from more dynamic blocking. All that said I feel that we are watching a class A writer in his early years, and I have no doubt that we will be seeing much larger TV shows and movies helmed by this writer in the near future.

Loved this film! Genuinely endearing characters, sharp and witty sense of humour. Rude but not crass or vulgar. I just grew to like these characters and their interactions more and more as the film went on, ending with a fantastically feel good ending.
