I liked the plot premise but it could have been executed better.
The film is fairly slow paced until the end where it really picks up the pace. Though she stops the pimp from killing the perp, only to then essentially sign the perps death sentence herself.
One of the things I often enjoy about British films is that the characters are realistic and not glamourised. They dress and speak like every day people you'd actually meet. They swear. They goto the bathroom. They're not scared to be real and human. (I do like American stuff but it's oftimes white washed with that Hollywood shine, even if it's trying to be gritty - side note, are Americans actually LIKE that?!)
Anyway, it was a good effort. I enjoyed the film though the ending didn't make sense to me and I think they could've embellished more on the backstory and tied some more loose ends up. The side plot of her mothers murder suicide didn't really get explained or properly linked in to the main plot.
