Malcolm Venville’s directorial debut is a 95-minute meditation on modern masculinity, wrapped in a package of superfluous stylistic glitches.

The impressive cast of Ray Winstone, Ian McShane, John Hurt, Tom Wilkinson, and Stephen Dillane utilize the carpool lane as they attempt to expand one man’s agonized reaction to his wife’s infidelity into a meaningful exploration of the interplay between clemency and vengeance.
