WHILE writer-director Reg Traviss’s violent low-budget, high action thriller is hardly groundbreaking, it is stuffed with enough four-letter words to guarantee a TV sale.

The opening legend — “Inspired by true events” — is followed by a fast and furious smash-and-grab raid on a shopping centre jewellery store by hoods on motorbikes.

The vivid staging and subsequent action scenes are easily the best part of a film whose emotional drama is driven by the confrontational relationship between two brothers.

Josh Myers leads the motorcycling thugs as Marcus while “sensitive” younger brother Dee — a flaccid performance by Gregg Sulkin — is a street artist hopefully limping along in the footsteps of self-promoting graffiti painters like Banksy. 

The brothers’ mutating relationship, catalysed when Marcus lands in hospital after a heist goes wrong, occasionally convinces.

But convincing characterisation takes second place to slickly-staged action and a modicum of suspense when required.
