MPAA RATING: R for violence, pervasive language and brief sexuality/nudity.

Starring Sean Bean, Sean Harris, Lennie James, Bob Hoskins, Rupert Friend, and Danny Dyer

London: present day. In lawless streets the guilty are left unhindered to go about their business. Returning from a tour of duty in Iraq, former Paratrooper Bryant is appalled by what he sees in a country he no longer recognizes. Determined to do something about it, he assembles a group of like minded souls who resolve to restore the balance between right and wrong, good and evil, enforcing justice with a brutality to match that of the once unpunished, unsuspecting wrongdoers. But when the law of the land is co-opted in this way, who decides when enough is enough? (Magnolia)

Variety Derek Elley

Both the pic's power and its problems stem from Love deliberately taking no moral position nor offering any solutions; he gives his audience what it wants at a gut level and doesn't wimp out at the end.

The Hollywood Reporter Ray Bennett

Brainlessly entertaining action picture.

San Francisco Chronicle David Wiegand

Oliver Twist" meets "A Clockwork Orange" meets a reckless abandonment of credibility.

Empire Olly Richards

The kind of film the tabloids will call to ban. Don't take that as a reason to see it.
