Watched on Blu-Ray. There would be little point in this movie mimicking what had been done in the past and sure enough a nice modern spin was planted into the making of this movie. With Damian Lewis, Ray Winstone and Ben Drew it all kicked off right from the start. Scenes are picturesque and subtlety tinted. Music the was suitably dramatic composed by Lorne Balfe, with clear hints to Inception, Sherlock Holmes and the Dark Knight Rises. As the film progressed I began to have difficulty empathising with the characters. clearly the director Nick Love noticed the issue and boom he gave the film a life line to cling on to as it progressed beyond the halfway point. From then on the film flowed well as the plot pulled its self together to a fitting conclusion. Enjoyable watch.
