Stop moaning about the baby crying and watch the bloody film!!
This is absolutely a slow burner and you need to stick with it past the 40 minute mark to really get used to the pace but it is absolutely worth it.
I didn't know any of the principal players but none of them put a foot wrong and the direction is assured.
The basic plot is routine. Criminal husband kills the wrong guy, wife is forced on the run, bad guys in pursuit. But here the female lead is a slowly evolving character who at the end of the film is still on her journey. Throw in strong black co stars who are very much part of the drama and key to the unfolding of the story plus the distraction of a baby and Julia Hart gives us fine riffs on the American crime genre.
A couple of revelation scenes look like they are missing something that was cut and the denouement is perhaps a bit of a stretch but these are minor quibbles that do not distract from a fine piece of work, well paced and well acted.
If only there was more of this about.
