If you're looking for the gory, violent film that the title and trailer allude to, you'll be gravely disappointed.

I'll spare you the lengthy and unnecessary synopsis review other users/film scholars try to impose on those just wanting a recommendation as to whether one should rent this film or not. In a nutshell, don't do it, you're not missing out on anything by skipping this one. There is no deep story here, no lesson to be learned, no violence, nothing. You go in expecting a grittier and more violent version of The Godfather, mixed with a bit of American Gangster and Scarface. There was none of that.

Expectations can ruin a movie before it even begins, which an avid movie goer should keep in mind, but this was just downright deception. The story was flatlined from beginning to end.

Not every film is going to be great, or worthy of an award. Some films are just films, something to go see at your local cinema on a Wednesday afternoon, or rent during a quiet evening. This film though, an insult to my movie going experience.
