Stays with you....

Rating: 10/10 (16 March 2012)

I can see why BAFTA had it nominated for Best Film this year. A thoughtful, small little film about blood and car chases. Hard to pin down really, just watch it, be ready to smile and to be shocked, be ready to wake up the next day thinking about it. I honestly didn't think I could be surprised by a film that on paper looks like an average car chase/heist movie, but emotionally it's somewhere between Pulp Fiction and Pan's Labyrinth. I honestly think if I hadn't have dismissed it last year as just another Fast and Furious it would have been my film of 2011, the only film since the Usual Suspects where I just wanted to go back to the beginning and immediately watch again.
