Saxon is a half-deserted concrete maze of flats reminiscent of the desolate ghost towns in an old western. It is through this gray concrete landscape with its cast of urban characters that Eddie, recently released from prison, searches for his old friend, Kevin, who has mysteriously vanished just when Eddie needs to hit him up for cash. Saxon opens with a bang, or I should say pain, as we see Eddie losing an eye to a loan shark he owes ten grand, and that is why Eddie goes in search of his old friend. Kevin is recently "cashed up" after winning big on a game show. When Kevin's wife offers Eddie money for finding Kevin the game is on as Eddie, no experienced sleuth, begins to roam Saxon in search of the vanished Kevin. Eddie, the proverbial loser, is one of those souls forever lost in the gray of urban life. Put upon at every turn, constantly in physical danger of losing life and limb, not to mention his other eye, Eddie becomes a bleeding open wound but with dogged determination he soldiers on. There is a bitter-sweet scene between Eddie and his prostitute mother, there are a host of urban characters weaving in and out of Eddie's quest and quirky bits of humor... Eddie his hair half cut with his eye patch, looking for all the world like an urban pirate. Greg Loftin's script is gritty, dark and humorous by turns with interesting characters and some fine camera work. It's a crime-story/western/modern urban quest with a wonderful performance by Sean Harris as Eddie and fine supporting roles with Sarah Matravers and Michele Connolly. Great first time out for Greg Loftin. I hope to see a Saxon sequel one day.
