Review Time: this project is excellent.
Fundamental elements: there are voice-over elements, cultural elements,
background music, no subtitles when another language is being used, time jumps
and place jumps.
The
thing is with this title; on one hand it takes such a long time to get going,
but on the other hand at some point it does get going, that is all I can say
about it really.
Action sequences: there are weapons being used and chasing elements. Here
is one action sequence for you to look out for; there is this motorbikes
sequence involving our lead partnership [on one motorbike] and two bikers on
two separate motorbikes and because I don't want to give too much away, I will
just say this sequence like many other sequences in this title have been
constructed neatly and efficiently.
Storyline/Character
developments/Performances: the
storyline in a nutshell has real substance as it makes consistent points [not
only in the storyline, but the character developments as well,] as the daughter
is in a train wreck of a lifestyle and a father that has a lifetime of misdeeds
behind him with one big regret. These character developments are individually
or together beautifully dysfunctional and functional with a mixture of both.
But in short if you have ever wondered what Martin Riggs [from the Lethal
Weapon franchise] would have turned out like if he was a criminal [I must
stress the backgrounds of these two characters are different,] I am
specifically talking about a rough description; this character is the nearest
version to answer that question; such as mentally quick, verbally comical with
mature or dark references, with a complicated reaction to what happens in this
title from this perspective; the viewers get this feeling that this reaction is
a mixture between unhappy but also happy to be back in this lifestyle [like I
said it's complicated,] on top of that you have this daughter that is
noticeably more educated by books than street smarts. The chemistry between these
two characters/performers is fluent, feels very natural and heart-warming.
These two characters/performers haven't spent much time together, but for here
and now in this title, this female/daughter needs her father/someone like this
in her life to try and keep her safe and be on the same level as her kind of
with years of these kinds of experiences [this will make better sense when or
if you choose to watch this title or not.]
This film receives: 8/10, after taking everything into consideration this mark
is well-deserved, if it does have one problem which I have already discussed in
this review.
