The Liability (2013)
Directed by Craig
Viveiros this film stars Jack O'Connell, Tim Roth, Talulah Riley and
Peter Mullan. A 19 year old slacker gets given a job by his gangster
step father as part of paying off the car he crashed.
In this film there are
a couple of really funny moments and more than a hint of personality
but due to the short run time none of these are really explored
properly. What this film really needed was more time to explore the
unusual comic relationships as it is a refreshing change in the
overly serious British gangster genre. Like everything else in the
film there are a couple of sequences where the direction hints at
being something above the usual but again it is not really often
enough to carry the film.
3/5
