Movie Haiku:British actor Considine makes a stunning, award-winning debut as writer/director. In the opening scene, a drunk emerges from a bar & kicks his loyal dog so hard, he kills it. Who could anticipate where this same man is in the film''s final moments? Brutal but brilliant depiction of male violence anchored by superlative performances by Colman & Mullen.
