It was the jarring effect that saved the film for me. The early bulk of it was annoying me - yet another tedious Brit ultra-realist gangster/domestic effort that would never live up to
Dead Man's Shoes - but then just as I was wearying ultimately, BOOM! it became interesting.
The end saved it from being consigned to the "Ken Loach bin" of my mind, and I ended up liking the whole.
