After lashing out at work, emotionally unstable airport security officer Joseph (Ben Whishaw) embarks on a crime spree across London in the feature debut of BAFTA-nominated British filmmaker Aneil Karia.

Whishaw’s mesmeric and intense performance has been wisely praised, but the film itself has received mixed reviews. ” . . .by the end of the 105-minute running time the whole experience starts to feel like being trapped in a broken-down subway car with a violent mental patient,” was the Hollywood Reporter‘s verdict.
