"When a teenage girl goes missing, a jaded, brutal enforcer attempts a rescue mission. He uncovers corruption and abuse of power along his way.

" DVD- 1hr. 30min. First Viewing It's not the easiest of film's to appreciate, but You Were Never Really Here is an effective, blunt and brutal piece of pulp-thriller, powered by Ramsay's mastery of filmmaking and yet another powerful performance by Joaquin Phoenix. The story is a fairly rote one, but Ramsay's direction heightens the brutally to new artistic heights; this isn't forced faux-grittiness, this all serves the world and story's purpose. It doesn't work without Phoenix though; bulkier t"
