Luke Evans gets out of prison after 16 years. He wants to start over and mend bridges with his son. Lurking around the edges is the brother of the man he killed is looking for revenge. At the same time Rory Culkin is having trouble with his drug lord uncle. Everyone is soon on a collision course.
The great cast is the reason to see this rambling crime drama. Evans, Culkin and the rest of the cast give everything and keep us watching even when we are wondering where all of this is going.
You will forgive me for not being more detailed with the plot, but my interest drifted. Blame the narrative which is trying to cover too many characters and has them running in too many directions. Kudos for the filmmakers for for trying to give us wider view of the world the characters are working through but at the same time this gives us a sense that some of the threads don't belong here. This film 110 minute film is probably a half an hour too long.
That said if you can forgive the meandering you will find some good stuff here,like some great performances. and the pieces of a a very good crime drama.
