| User ReviewBecs DActor and storyline driven, this gritty British Drama brings a new area of crime and punishment to light. Jodhi May stands out, but with many regular British Drama faces, this is tale that leaves no Mother without an emotional pull. |
| User ReviewBrett BI thought this was a simple movie, but powerful all the same. While it was about a British law called Joint Enterprise that allows the court to intimidate young folks by convicting them as a group instead of for individual crime. This story about a young man facing life for driving friends to pick up a pizza is unaware that a murder took place and struggles to do what's right for everyone. I found myself thinking that I've never had a lot of friends because I have always been careful of group think and the possibility of getting into some trouble because of someone elses behavior. I've been VERY careful who i socialize with and call friends, knowing some who call themselves my friend are not and would do harm out of stupidity. When i was in the 5th grade i was look out for friends shoplifting and was an accessory, so I guess i learned my lesson. |
