Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter Midnight Express' meets 'Ong-Bak,' and that's a good thing. Dec 21, 2018 Full Review Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) Ultimately, there is something distasteful about this approach 鈥� especially as the stylistic bravura seems calculated to leave minimal room for thought.

victoria t It鈥檚 very intense and I think it鈥檚 a tale that doesn鈥檛 always make it to the screen with this quality of actors but I made my 20 year old son watch it before he went over there it鈥檚 British cinema at its best and being an ex addict the whole process of unwinding from that plus the violence he faced , Tip Top Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/05/24 Full Review Terry S Difficult to watch and overall unpleasant to watch. Not for the faint-hearted. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review
