Finally got to rent this DVD

I had seen the trailer for this movie about 5 months ago, how ever I didn’t notice it being released into the theaters in Canada, Anyway I enjoyed this movie, It did remind me a little bit of the movie Get Carter, but this movie is more serious, I was hoping to see more action, like when that guy was yelling at Will on the street telling him to leave town after the funeral, I was hoping will was going to do something to him right then and there, but then I realized how calm and calculating Will is. The ending leaves some things for the viewer to decide, I would like to see a sequel to this movie or possibly even a prequel…. The movie is based on wills reputation as a dangerous criminal but you don't really witness much of him backing that up, other than the fact that he had his own crew, would have like have learned more about his story, anyway still thought it was a great movie...

do you think on the strength of this movie that enough people
would care to see a sequel just to make sense out of a movie
that did not make sense on its own ... I don't, I think it
indicates a failed movie. good style and slick acting, but
not a good movie or story at all. Just a tableau of a rape,
done to a guy, with no titillating women around to impress the
awfullness and sadism of rape on the men in the audience, and
to point the real violence in our society in its place, as class
violence.

I think that a sequal would be a good idea, or maybe a prequel as well, the movie
leaves a little bit of mystery to the main character. The movie made me think that
WIll had tried to change maybe for his brothers sake, but once his brother was killed there was not much point to try to be someone he was not...He was a tough hardened criminal...
