  Surprisingly good
  
  This is surprisingly good, much better than I expected, could have done with more action, but still it's better than the Hurt Locker!

  The Mark of Cain
  
  It's an amazing film. Loved it from start to finish. Was a little difficult to watch at times but the acting was brilliant, especially Gerard Kearns.
