Synopsis:
After a botched bank robbery lands his younger brother in prison, Constantine Nikas embarks on a twisted odyssey through the city’s underworld in an increasingly desperate – and dangerous -attempt to get his brother out of jail.
Over the course of one adrenalised night, Constantine finds himself on a mad descent into violence and mayhem as he races against the clock to save his brother and himself, knowing their lives hang in the balance.
Thoughts:
Robert Pattinson proves once again his Twilight days are well and truly behind him – like The Lost City of Z and The Rover, he continues to pick interest and varied roles that showcase his range as an actor. He is great in this film and the film wouldn’t have been the same without him.
The Safdie Brothers, Benny and Josh, have crafted a tense and superbly paced thriller. Keep an eye on what they do next.
Rating:
