About
You’ll likely enjoy this gritty British revenge thriller if you want an emotionally driven tale of an older man taking a stand in a crime-ridden neighborhood; Not for you if you prefer lighter, faster action like Street Kings or want something more uplifting like Contraband.
Pros: Michael Caine’s strong lead; tense gritty atmosphere; gripping revenge drive | Cons: slow, melancholic pacing; brutally depressing tone; may feel repetitive
