I don't normally go in for these type of shoot em up crime thrillers, but this movie (given the subject matter) was actually really understated and deeply emotional. I am a fan in general though, of contained films (mostly in one location), where the budget is mostly spent on a stellar cast. Malko is his usual brilliant self, in the career criminal role he does so well, Rory Kulkin as a dope addict is great as well, and Adrian Brody delivers yet another powerhouse performance (he's really just so good). While a blood-thirsty dog is the central antagonist of this film (a dog-fighting dog no less), it seems on the surface, we eventually learn the true villain here: and that's man. This simple lesson is executed to its full potential. The character work here is exquisite. Really a surprise from the otherwise lackluster Netflix selection (although, again, with this cast, it should be obvious that this movie is gonna hit you where it counts).
