This film breaks down the mentality of someone responsible for carrying out executions. It also deals with a man dealing with his own mortality and upcoming death while trying to prove his innocence. Both of these are deep and interesting topics to follow. The main problem with the film is that it tries to explore both of these types of story at the same time. The film treats both Bernadette and Anthony as equal characters, but it is clear Bernadette is the main character. This limited her ability to have a good character arc as a lot more time ends up being given to Anthony than necessary. Aldis Hodge is the shining star. Alfie Woodward is great, don’t get me wrong, but she is always great. Hodge stepped it up from his previous roles. While expressing so emotion I think they both had moments where they over did it.
