Tom Hardy is amazing. What an actor. You can't take your eyes off him during his scenes. He's going to become a major player soon.
Film's good but it should've been great. The problem is the ending is terrible. You need a huge emotional payoff here. We're waiting for it but the punch is never delivered. What's going to happen with Tommy? Is he going to prison? What happens now to his best friend's family?
And then the whole issue about the sons' relationship with their father is never resolved. Hell, their own relationship with each other is never resolved. It's almost as if we're missing the next twenty minutes of the movie.
We didn't need all that screen time devoted to Brendan's students. They didn't add much to the story. The heart of the film - the brother's relationship - needed to be hit much harder. Such a wasted opportunity. Film feels like it could've been a contender but another draft of the script is needed.
