Basically Toby [spoiler]got himself killed due to being stupid[/spoiler] and Jay [spoiler]got Toby's mum killed due to being stupid[/spoiler].

A pleasantly surprising crime thriller! I liked all the characters especially Hector Blake who makes a fun and intriguing villain I wanted to know more about him. The story isn't anything new or original but the great characters and unexpected twists make for a fun watch.

This dark thriller often surprises but it needed a stronger script to really have an impact.

The premise is intriguing: a British thriller that begins with a social angle and soon ventures into darker territory. From the start, it seems to want to be more than simple entertainment, with nods to class tensions and a rebellious youth pushing back against the establishment. The problem is that the idea never fully takes shape. The narrative shifts perspectives often, which gives it some unpredictability, but also makes the tension weaken and disperse. At times it feels more concerned with opening new subplots than with exploring the potential of the main one. Hugh Bonneville is, without doubt, the highlight. His turn as a menacing figure is disturbing and provides the spark the story needs. Around him, the rest of the cast does its job, though none leave the same impression. Visually, it’s well put together, with a grey, oppressive atmosphere that suits the tone. Yet it lacks the punch for the suspense to truly resonate. It always feels one step away from going further. Overall, it’s an entertaining thriller, with some effective moments and a solid idea at its core, but it never quite takes off. A decent way to pass the time, though unlikely to linger once the credits roll.
