Sleeper hit. It is a unique take on a unwilling hero with plenty of faults. The movie is gritty and pace is a bit slow compared to the attention deficit people now days but the movie slowly unfolds and narrative slowly draws you into the life of the characters.

I liked the way the movie was shot and the characters, but the script was weak and the pace was too slow and disjointed. Overall it felt like the movie was half documentary and half 'After Effects' reel.

Very good, pulls you into the guys life, holds you there and you end up feeling like your seeing the movie through the characters perspective. It's much more raw than cinematic movies which makes it different in a good way.
