About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gritty, emotional UK crime drama about consequences and revenge with intense moments; Not for you if you dislike bleak stories, heavy street slang, or frequent violence—similar to 21 Grams or A Walk Among the Tombstones.
Pros: tense revenge-driven story; emotional, serious tone; strong lead performance | Cons: some plot feels unlikely; heavy slang hard to follow; uneven supporting characters
