Brilliant Modern-day Gangster Movie
Full review
With Russian emigrees in London providing the gangster sex trafficing background a young woman has to confront them. Very well made and polished tale, excellent mise-en-scene and atmospheric photography, tautly directed, well acted. Nothing not to like about it.
