Pros: A taunt thriller with a crazy, unpredictable plot line is always welcome, and while justice is served, there is much death and destruction along the way, especially two of three big named stars end up dead at the hands of a monster. However, I like a film that is interesting and this one is, in a painful sort of way.
Cons: You can't kill George MacKay off so soon in a film, even though his character was an asshole, but at least he wasn't a sociopath as Hugh Bonneville was. And though the film is perceived to be about two young guys tagging the homes of rich people, the plot is far more sinister and complex so I feel that it is a bit of false advertising.
Recommend: Don't know
Grade: B
Side Notes:
-Smoking is utterly disgusting.
-Percelle Ascott is the true breakthrough star of this film; he's brilliant and a marvel in all his scenes.
-George MacKay's character is such a dick that when his friend needs to step aside, he is super pissed, not supportive of the news.
-Men can have their drinks drugged just like women.
-Also, men who have extreme power and connections are the utter worst.
-This film covers a ton of time and it is shocking at how many people Hector Blake (Bonneville) probably ended up killing during that time.
