Brian Cox put's in a great performance. But Not enough to save the movie.
One dimensional a very predictable redemption story that needed a few more twists and turns. That only arrive in the closing moments.
Kate Beckinsale is good in the role to. Has a struggling single mum. To a boy who needs strength to find his place in the world. A role model not available from his junkie dad. Finds a role model hero in his newly realised from prison Grand father .
That is the level of cliches used this movie. It's is a shame It had the potential and the cast to be much better offering. Easy watch. Worth viewing for some good acting.
