Fairly respectable vigilante film about an old man seeking revenge against local hoodlums who killed his only friend. I watched this after having seen multiple positive reviews and comments like "Best UK film in years" etc. Statements like this got my hopes up a little too high. The final product was decent, but it didn't have as much depth as i was looking for. And, the plot twist at the end was a little too convenient to be realistic. Michael Caine was perfect for the role and gave a great performance, but i was feeling a little let down by the simplicity of the story when the ending wrapped up to a neat package of justice. So, if you're looking for blood and vengeance against mislead youth, this is the ticket. But if you have a taste for rich story and character drama i'd say to look elsewhere.
3/5
