An average movie

In my opinion, anything involving Gary Oldman is worth a look and it has been maybe 8 years since I have seen a movie with Virginie Ledoyen so thre were enough reasons to watch this flick. Well, eventually, I thought it was not bad and it reminded me of 'Straw dogs' and 'Deliverance' even if this movie never reached the level of those two classics. Gary Oldman, as usual, kicked some ass and delivered a good perfomance. Paddy Considine and Aitana Sánchez-Gijón were also good enough and quite convincing. On the other hand, I had a rather hard time with Ledoyen. I mean, I'm not sure if it was her character or her performance that actually irritated me. Anyway, she looked nice but she was the weakest member of the cast. Anyway, the main issue was that the story was rather weak at some points. Basically, the movie started slowly and then it got pretty exciting, and then it got slow again and then exciting again. When you think about it, nothing much really happened during the whole thing. And the other thing that bothered me was that they kept some whole chunks of the story completely in the dark from the start until the end. I get that they did it on purpose to give a sense of mystery but it was more annoying than anything else. Anyway, to conclude, it was nothing original but it was rather well made and if you like Gary Oldman like I do, it is actually worth a look.
