Overview
Following the death of his mother, J finds himself living with his estranged family, under the watchful eye of his doting grandmother, Smurf, mother to the Cody boys. J quickly comes to believe that he is a player in this world. But, as he soon discovers, this world is far larger and more menacing than he could ever imagine. J finds himself at the center of a cold-blooded revenge plot that turns the family upside down.
This was a great little film. What I really appreciate about films made outside of America is that they do not concern themselves with having to have some kind of high point every 10 minutes. The writing and acting are sharp and the plot is excellent. The ending was perfect.
