A well-acted, decently crafted and adequately paced crime drama that, for some odd reason, came across as incomplete. The script built the world with enough competence. It had some exciting ideas to play around with, yet the conclusive result failed to establish any authority, and I would like to blame the writer, Steven Knight, solely; had he accorded the proper amount of time and space for his characters as well as the plot to flourish, it would have been a much different outcome in its entirety. Alas! That wasn't meant to be.
P. S. Viggo Mortensen did his job respectably; this was one of his finer performances for sure.
