With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone fascinated by the criminal underworld and people who like their stories with a little danger. A look inside a world of loyalty, money and betrayal. Shelve it next to The Equalizer 3 or Sexy Beast.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 30 min. The story isn't told in order, so keep your phone down.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
Jack Barrett is the type of guy no one calls Jack. He works for a group of businessmen known as "The Gentlemen" who operate within the fertile realm of the Sydney Underworld. Standover tactics, prostitution, illegal gambling, creative importation - you name it, "The Gentlemen" are into it. And Barrett enforces it for them. Old school muscle for hire. Now 53 years old, he's tired of having to throw away perfectly good suits because you can't dry-clean the blood off. He needs to get out of Sydney. Out of the game. Which is, of course, easier said than done.
