The acting of the leading actor Andrew Scott in this film is excellent. The pace is a bit slow and the story isn't mind-blowing but Andrew's effortless performance engages the audience and makes you want to root for him and see how things are going to pan out. My only complaint is that the ending is a little weak.

For a budget film thriller a was surprised how good this was written Andrew Scott played the lead role well just shows you don't need a big name actor too play the role it's a little slow to start off with but be patient by the end you will have enjoyed it...

This is a fantastic film held together in no small part by the fantastic performance by Andrew Scott. I can't understand how this can score less than 7 out of 10 unless all you're into is Marvel Comic CGI nonsense

The fact that this movie was made by the British is very important to understanding how the rest of the world sees us. I felt the full impact of the movie afterwards when I realized this. The American way of life is filled with guns and violence. The reasons that the characters in the movie choose violence and guns is how Trump's America thinks, and, unfortunately, acts. This movie is absolutely terrific on many levels. The only drawback is the music.

I enjoyed the film. Easy watching, good story and personable characters. I'm not quite sure what reviewer Dlbott is talking about British film making ? There have been some great Asian films and European films killed by Hollywood. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and The Eye as first thought examples. Does it really matter where a film is made as long as it is enjoyable ? British and proud !!

A boy goes missing in a rural town and the case becomes an obsession for a man who believes there is more to the case than what it appears to be. I'll give a few more details. Our main character comes off as a decent enough guy but he has some sort of mental disability. He lives with his mother but has a daughter that lives with her mother. While visiting his kid, he learns she is on social media and while scrolling through her news feed, he learns that the boy is missing. The man works in sanitation and knows the boy from his garbage pick-up route because the kid made it a point to always wave when he saw him. While it never really gave a good explanation as to why he was so interested in the case, he becomes obsessed and determined to figure out what happened to the kid. The main character played his part well, easily drawing the viewer into his character's emotions. The majority of the movie is carried by this character so kudos to the actor for his performance. The atmosphere in this is gloomy and the settings felt appropriate. While I felt it could've used some more detail here and there, I thought it was a "meh" flick. Not amazing and not awful. If you choose to sit down and watch it just be prepared for the slow burn.

I loved Andrew Scott's acting abilities. My fav is his Moriarty against Sherlock Holmes. I was not expecting this range of acting though. All of the acting was superb in this film. I am also so glad these kinds of films are still being made because they have substance. Just watch the film and enjoy it as it unfolds. The lead character has some kind of mental condition, notice I don't say flaw. It is never mentioned what it is. The film shows he was raised in a decent family with a mother and father who obviously loved and cared for him. What I found surprising though was that his obsession with the case and the reason he couldn't let it go was that he was a victim also. The film makes that obvious at 01:13:34 when he is about 8 or 10 and running in the river bed away from something, that is little "Donnie" the camera pans from the boy right back to the adult Donnie and there is no mistaking that.. I knew then that the protagonist was approaching the home as a younger victim but now as an adult man. He had been abused also which led to his mental condition much like the very sad mechanic victim who was hiding from the world in the back of a garage, too damaged to overcome what life had thrown at him. He also was being a better parent than those of the other victims by protecting his daughter from the friendly country doctor for good telling is daughter that "I just came by to pick something up".

So now his daughter is left with an uncaring moth and a boyfriend whom she's always arguing with. I think this was a little outlandish. If anyone did the things he did he'd of been in jail. Digging the body up , waking into peoples homes. Trying to run over people. vigilante not. It was a decently done movie but Just kind of ridiculous. The acting was good and Donny as an Irishman ( haven't seen him in anything else did great as an autistic american. But I just think it was a bit outlandish.

I thought this was going to be a run of the mill thriller but it turned out to be quite engrossing all the way to the end mostly due to the superb acting ability of Andrew Scott who deserves an Oscar for his performance and this elevated the movie beyond your average pot boiler thriller aided and abetted by the performance from Bronagh Waugh. For such a slow moving small movie it pulls a big punch and keeps the viewer interested and on the edge of the seat right to the rather surprising end and tackles a sadly very common and terrifying thought for any parent which gives the movie even more gravitas. Good camerawork and directing adds to the mix - If you are looking for an interesting mystery thriller that will not disappoint you cannot go far wrong with this one!
