Review-
This film was very enjoyable and kept me on the edge of my seat through out with its twists and turns to keep the audience hooked. I felt the ending lacked slightly with what seemed like a cliff hanger as to where Eddie went with his life next but nevertheless there was a clear storyline throughout. All acting was extremly good including the violence scenes.
