As usual, I don't know where to start. It's a decent film overall. Seems well made for the most part, good cinematography, and the score was pretty good as well. It's not like it's boring or anything but this is quite a generic revenge corruption plot. Very little backstory; as the film progressed i got new bits and pieces of information as to why the main character did what he did, but at that point in the film, it didn't feel like it mattered much.

Characters other than the one portrayed by Dev Patel, were pretty much non-existent random NPCs used to fill the scenes. I guess he knew how to write his own character but not all the others, which is too bad. Some scenes made absolutely no sense, others were even making me cringe a little, and yet, the overall feeling was "fun entertainment", so I'll let it slide.
