CGiii Comment

If you guess it from the beginning, it ruins the whole thing...and, unfortunately, it's not that difficult to guess.

Although predictable, the dialogue is gritty and there are some fine performances.

Overall, it just doesn't quite hit the mark - perhaps due to some bad casting and that's not a reflection on the acting (the young lead is exceptional) - it's just a little unbelievable...but, a worthy effort nonetheless.
