The Prodigy (2005)
10/10
Not since "Se7en"....

Okay, so it's a different premise completely but it's been that long since a movie gave me goose-bumps like this one did.

Being a mad fan of gangland flicks, this DVD won out over about half a dozen well-received big name rentals tonight and rightly so. The fight scenes are incredibly realistic, disturbingly so in some cases, the acting generally pretty good (hey, if you didn't feel for Pat or King you must be Claude Rains material)and while the plot wasn't madly intricate it certainly went in different directions than one may have expected.

While there are certain folks who may find fault- my wife's more of a horror fan & her response was 'great movie...but I don't know if I get it..'- if you're into gangland movies, dark suspense or just flat-out psycho fare, you'll surely love this. Superb.
