Strong, powerfull, dirty and more to the nitty gritty gangsta line of things, metro style, not suburban - changes to the nieghbourhood as in 'Gran Torino'. Name dropping aside this does churn emotions almost as good with a progressive plot, directive genius and fantastic performances from both emily Mortimer and sir michael cainthough an ensemble cast of diverse talent with a no holes barred script that leaves no slant on the tounge unurned and up to the imagination as to what- though embellished somewhat there seems no limit to get that message across (whatever it may be at those times from people whom have not what you'd expect and those that do.
Synopsis: an elderly gent uses some ex marine nouse and spirit. Finds himself in a situation that allows vengence to follow suit when things have escalated around his home (now as a widdower) to the point of retribution being superseeded by harsher treatment neccessary to stem local violence.
