Dark and depressing with a very stupid plot

Rating: 2/10 (26 August 2019)

Often IMDB ratings are misleading. At 7+ I expected something from this movie. I didn't like how it started, I didn't like how it progressed, but I continued to watch it hoping that somehow things would improve. It's meant to be a thriller, but it's just foul language and violence intended to create a negative reaction. It collapsed spectacularly in the end with the stupidest twist in the tale. If someone wanted to rescue that little girl, all they had to do was call social services. With a junkie criminal mother it would be easy to prove the case and get the girl to safety with a legitimate route. It just doesn't make sense. The film is poorly directed with some over the top aggressive acting.. The social message in it is wrong and harmful.. I don't know why people liked it..
