cjonesas - 23 April 2024 [5.1] Hurting them, hurting us A fully uninteresting movie with just scenes and pictures passing by. The acting is good, the storyline plots are not. It is disjointed like tens and tens of sub-plots islands glued together.
The main problem of the production is the killing of Mikeal early on and after that even his "cameo" flashbacks, set in the minimal level don't save it.
As for the two young actresses, though talented, they truly don't know what to do with their lines, hence the "islands" and the violent outcome for Jamie in the end. The character of Dottie played well, as usual, but she too suffered heavily from the script.

nightringer-76840 - 11 February 2024 It's the Trend to Fight Human Trafficking Cult of the Powerful As soon as I found out from early scene that Banderas played Irish, I found it weird.
Overall, this film is very good. Not because of the story, but because of the actors. This film was acted very well by everyone in the cast.
Banderas was very convincing as Irish PI fatherly figure. I couldn't say anything else but he was abgood father and mentor to Alice Evecs character.
Alice Eve also played her character very well like a seasoned character actor. Her moody flashbacks dropped her down and up emotionally, and she did her just right, not too much, not too plain.
The villains was surprisingly scary, not because of the violence nor the insanity of human trafficking and torture, but because they played their characters like a regular town folks.
Overall, every actor in the cast played their role very well, a proof that the director was a good director.
