Overview
Brendan works solo shifts in the quietest toll booth in Wales, hiding from a criminal past where nobody would ever look. When he finally gets rumbled, word of his whereabouts gets out and his enemies head west for revenge. Meanwhile, local traffic cop Catrin’s investigation into a simple robbery finds her heading for the booth at exactly the wrong time.
The film very much has a Guy Ritchie feel to it. While the main character is very interesting and the viewer is curious to find out more about him I don’t know that the stories behind the secondary characters really added up to much. In theory the ending should have been more gripping than it was – it just kind of fizzled out. The film is only 80 minutes but it felt longer. Overall it is an easy watch but it seemed like there was a better movie in there.
