Thriller Set ahead of the 2012 London Olympics, the film follows Liam, an ex-con trying to win back the love and trust of his family.

Liam's drive for redemption sees him caught up in a web of conspiracy, crime, and corruption.

	Author	Review
United States	Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter	"[Scalpello and screenwriter Nick Moorcroft fall back] on tired mob-movie clichés, stock characters and leaden dialogue so generic it could have been written by an algorithm."	NEG
United Kingdom	Mike McCahill The Guardian	"It has a measure of ambition, strong dramatic scenes and grabby performances (...) The storytelling connecting its disparate elements starts to feel dashed-off (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	James Luxford Radio Times	"The convoluted plot approaches subjects (...) with all the subtlety of a chainsaw (...) [It] is several unrelated ideas jammed awkwardly together, and soaked in blood (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
