Now this is obviously not just a mean streets rip off and while the director admits that Scorsese was an influence, there are also other things that played into the movie and into what we get to see. Casting Riz Ahmed in one of the lead roles is quite genius and I'd say he is quite engaging. We have another actor who is also on the main bill so to speak and he is so fundamentally different - some might be annoyed but it is quite necessary.
The movie will either grip you and get you (the drama and thrill of it, no matter how likeable the characters may seem or not) or it will annoy you because of the grittiness and their perspective and actions. Do what you know they say when it comes to filmmaking ... it could not be more true than in this case
