I saw this film 6/21/2017 at a preview screening.
It was a movie that started interesting, but the more it went on, the more i started to wonder "what's the point?" until it ended leaving me feeling very lukewarm.
The film follows a non linear progression, it paints a dramatic picture about family, the prison system and how it changes people. Coaster-Waldau plays the protagonist "Money" and we follow his journey through the prison system interwoven into a plot about an impending deal between two criminal gangs.
The acting is quite good, camera is decent, score was a little on the dramatic side for a movie like this. for me it all comes down to the poor story. To me it felt like an Antoine Fuqua kind of movie, but without a good story. Some plot points feel unresolved and parts feel like they could use some more attention.
Some might like it, some might not, personally i have a hard time recommending it though due to its length and lack of any real plot. i think i get what Waugh was trying to say but sadly it falls flat.
