SPOILER ALERT
Man seeks revenge, man gets revenge, with a whole bunch of clichéd stereotypes and derivative plot developments along the way.
I've a lot of time for director Gillies Mackinnon and actor Johnny Lee Miller, but this seems to have been made in a hurry without someone sitting down and asking crucial plot questions. Andy Serkis hams it up too much as the heavy and deserves better.
If you want to see a great Gillies Mackinnon film seek out Small Faces (1996), a BBC funded film, a very powerful story about youth gangs in 60's Glasgow. I also hear Regeneration is good but as yet haven't caught up with it.
Sorry chaps, but a misfire this time, better luck next time.
