[quote=Anonymous]Watched this on Netflix. I don't know. I think I wanted it to be something more than it was, especially with such a strong cast.

SPOILERS AHEAD.

I felt like it was kind of unsympathetic/hard-nosed for something that was supposed to be set in the present-day. I get that a police officer was killed and that doesn't garner any sympathy in the justice system, but by the same token the whole situation at the scene of the crime was chaotic. But maybe that's just me. I feel like Ruth would have been remorseful, but maybe that's why she was out in 20 years.

And the cop's family just kind of disintegrating. I would think law enforcement would work harder to take care of its own. And then the one brother goes from "leave it alone" to "an eye for an eye +1million."

And then the sister and her adoptive family. While I sort of get wanting to keep the past from her - she was five and it's HIGHLY unlikely she would have or would have been able to bury or suppress her memories. And there's no protection order that lasts 20 years and beyond the adulthood of the person in question. Like, was the idea that she would never knoiw anything about her past.

Anyway, I enjoyed Bullock's performance. Her storyline was interesting. I understand this was based on a BBC series from a decade or so ago. I think in film form they should have stripped out the cop's family storyline and made it about Ruth re-connecting with the world and her sister.
