I'm not an eloquent writer and I viewed this movie quite awhile ago. However, the great "Tim Roth", once again carried the movie, although the other actors were fine. My heart went out to him in this movie, as he was just released from prison, for a crime he didn't commit. Even, his sister-in-law, who was not too nice or congenial to him, was unaware his brother committed the crime and Tim Roth took the rap and went to jail for him.His brother, who did a fine piece of acting as, a low class, unscrupulous, vile person, who didn't care about anyone else but himself, was ready to once again put his brother in a precarious situation.Tim Roth, who was actually such a gentle soul had to muster all his strength and courage to move on and make a new and better life for himself.I do highly recommend this movie, although I detest seeing an abuser, especially if it's your brother being cruel. It moved at a rapid pace, was interesting, and the plot, although not unfamiliar, was well acted and you do enjoy seeing "the good guy" triumph at the end.
