I had no expectations surrounding this work, as I had no exposure to ads, trailers, etc before my initial viewing, so this was a cold viewing, which is rare for me.
There are two impressive elements with this film. The first is Michael Gambon. If he was making the attempt to counter any type-casting associated with his Harry Potter character, Albus Dumbledore, he was 100% successful. This performance is gritty, hard, and even rough. But he is also great in this role.
The second impressive element is the story itself. It generates enough intrigue to hold your interest. Usually with a plot such as this one, I need some suspense to do that, but this story generates the interest enough without the suspense. I found that refreshing.
This work is a bit reminiscent of the feeling found in Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead, though lacks the same intensity.
All in all, I was intrigued and thoroughly entertained.
It rates a 6.8/10 from...
