En la zona rural más oscura de Irlanda, el ex-boxeador Douglas 'Arm' Armstrong (Cosmo Jarvis) se ha convertido en el brazo fuerte de la familia Devers, dedicada al negocio de la venta de droga. Mientras tanto, también trata de ser un buen padre para Jack (Kiljan Moroney), un niño autista de cinco años. Dividido entre sus dos familias, la lealtad de Arm se pone a prueba cuando los Devers le piden por primera vez que asesine a un hombre. (Filmin)

A gritty crime drama set in rural Ireland, filmed not far from my place. The story centres on an ex-boxer and his partner (the excellent Barry Keoghan, from Dunkirk, The Killing of a Sacred Deer), outsiders to society who deal with drugs. Trouble arises when their boss orders them to kill a man, something that will mark them irrevocably. A gritty film from a gritty setting that has drive, well-written characters, a chilling atmosphere, a dose of emotion and a necessary dose of violence. I was very satisfied. Story****, Action***, Humor>No, Violence***, Entertainment****, Music***, Visuals****, Atmosphere****, Suspense****. 7.5/10.

Big heart and loyal skin. The first one gets into it, the second one provides support. An interesting oscillation between a social drama and a rustic gangster story emerging from the Irish wilderness. It heads in a predictable direction, but the level of violence in the finale is surprising. The weathered Dennehy, Jarvis’s bull-like neck, and Keoghan, who is traditionally on the receiving end, all carry it responsibly, but let’s admit that without Blanck Mass's electronics, the emotional pump would be running at half capacity.
