This movie is not good, script, directing, and especially the acting. I shudder to call it acting. I should've known from the start when the leaders of the Bad guys was trying really hard to be tough, obviously (young Gooding) isn't tough, but he sure makes it tough to watch. I'm not familiar with the lead actor so to waste time I looked him up while the movie played. Well no wonder, his claim to fame is a Disney show with his twin years ago as a kid. All I can say Disney must have owed him some film time in his contract. Also must've owed Cuba Gooding something awful to let his son act(I say that unwillingly) because acting is not in his forte. He is the other lead. Baaaaaaaad!

I know it has sometimes unbelievable twists and loaded with predictably but I still find it very good film. I went in blind and had NO idea what it was about. The Cast all I assume British but the leads are always on point. I enjoy Dame Helen and Sir Ian in just about anything. That is exactly what made me push play to start with and these two GREAT actors didn't disappoint. Their Supremacy of their craft always astounds me. They can only work with what's given to them.

I can't imagine watching this movie with other actors and I can tell you that I wouldn't have ever seen this without them. The only thing is that how amusing "Betty" went about her revenge left the seriousness of the plot to be desired. So if you're here to watch an edge of your seat can't turn away thriller- remember these are 80ish yr olds.

The ACTING is superb from the 2 leads and got everything out of this and more considering that's what made me watch it in the first place. The Movie a solid 6 the Acting a high 12 therefore it's a 9 for me.

I get we've all seen the plot, story, and landscape several times but this movie has teeth. Since Covid movies as well as movie lovers have taken a hit. Willis, Hauser, Gibson, and many other one time A list actors have lent their names to piles of crap B movies that the B now stands for BAD.

Every once in a while you'll get a pretty good flick that has some grit & resemblance of what independent movies once were. I'm not saying Masterpieces are being created, but you're going to find a gem every once in a while and imo this rectifies the search. I've found a few since the real movie drought of the past few years and it also helps I like this genre of movie. Dirty, Southernish hillbillish white trashy drama action. Dorff, Travolta, Dillion are not just going thru the motions for a check, their acting chops are out. Stephen D was great! He always seems to steal a scene no matter what scripts he's given and earns his. Some other movies like this that aren't advertised much are often hit or miss, this one is Hit to me anyhow. Low ratings don't do this movie justice for a couple reasons, one if you wanted to see a movie in this genre then it's better than expected and two if you watched for the popular actors They All did a good job.

Some other suggestions as independent non advertised gems that if you liked this one. These also came out in the last couple of crapola years of movie making but I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed: 1. The Stranger 2. Ida Red 3. The Dry All 3 imho are also done decently Well.
