Review: I quite enjoyed this film because it&#39;s full of raw, intense drama but it does take some time to get going and the storyline is a bit sketchy. Its about a prison inmate who becomes friends with the top dog, Ewan McGregor, after accepting his protection from a group of rapist. When JR gets released from prison he has to help Ewan to escape because he helped him against the bullies. Once out, they plan a gold heist whilst dodging the law but JR ends up falling in love and wants to get away from Ewan because of his ruthless tactics. After getting double crossed and a few shootouts, it all starts to become a bit too much for JR so he starts to plan a way out with his new found love. The storyline was quite good because you don&#39;t know what&#39;s going to happen from one scene to the next. Ewan McGregor played the baddie quite well but I found the guy who played the lead, Brenton Thwaites, to be quite dull and unemotional. The love story was also a bit weak along with there awful planning which was basically, shoot and hope. Anyway, you really don&#39;t know who is good and who is bad throughout the film and Ewan&#39;s untrustworthy manner made the movie quite intense. In all, it&#39;s worth a watch but don&#39;t expect anything amazing. Watchable!<br/><br/>Round-Up: Ewan McGregor&#39;s career has really had its ups and downs. From playing the young Obi- Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars franchise to playing a cop in the awful Mortdecai, he really has come far from his early days in Trainspotting. At 44, he has starred in over 60 movies which isn&#39;t bad for someone who started his career in 1994 in Being Human. The director, Julius Avery, has only made a few TV shorts in his career so this is his first major film. He didn&#39;t do a bad job with the project because I did feel entertained throughout the film but I wasn&#39;t impressed with the leading actor. Brenton Thwaites, who also starred in the Giver, Maleficent, the Signal and Oculus, has a role in the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie so I hope that he does a better job with that. At 25, the young Australian born actor hasn&#39;t done to bad in his career so far but he lacks screen charisma and emotion.<br/><br/>I recommend this movie to people who are into their crime/action/drama movies about a young prison inmate who becomes friends with a big time thug and ends up planning a gold heist with him. 5/10 I watched just because of Ewan McGregor. And it was well worth the 1:49 minutes of my time. If you want to you can probably work out what is going to happen next throughout the whole movie. But, the performances are good and the story is interesting and I just sat back and watched for the sheer movie satisfaction. And, on that score, this movie does not disappoint. The violence is in keeping with the roles portrayed and, dammit, I just loved the way it ended. I will definitely recommend this movie to my wifethere is more than enough to keep her watching - besides the aforementioned McGregor. In this cynical world, it&#39;s nice, once in a while, to have trust vindicated. At least three entertaining films are jostling for position in Australian writer-director Julius Avery’s messily propulsive debut feature, Son of a Gun — and if none ultimately emerges dominant, the red-blooded tussle between them is never dull to watch.
I am a person who always enjoyed watching thriller crime movie and this is one of my favorite so thanks a lot for sharing this which is really an interesting movie to watch and those who haven't watched it should definitely watch the Vegan Meal Prep Canada
