Great performances but the terrible ending, the director tried to be over smart and too creative than what he is by messing up the ending so bad that the audience feels the whole movie to be a total waste of time.

the funny is that after so many years trying so hard to sit through all the crime genre films out of the British movie industries, none of them ever could hold my focus and most of the time, i just quit after tormenting and torturing myself for about 20 to 30 boring, uninteresting of my life. except kept hearing the modern curse word "Fxxking" this, "Fxxking" that, a word used to be "Bloody" couple of years ago in every British movie, there was nothing coherent enough to be recognized as a 'good' enough movie, albeit 'decent' or even 'great' one.this 'hyena' is no exception at all. what a bore, man. full of unlikable screen personalities, bored to death scenarios and storyline, cardboard acting, non-exit direction, what we got here is nothing but another hyped hollow, snail-crawling crap out of London. the average ratings on IMDb are around 6+_, and on rottentomatoes.com even got a higher 7+ rating average, gee, are we watching the same movie of the same title? i really don't want to write a review of this typical British tasteless wax ball, but i just couldn't help myself, man. watching this movie is like when hiking on the mountain trail, i suddenly overhear a mountain goat 'Meh...meh...' behind some rocks.

This movie has a 5 rating as I'm writing this and its total b.s. This movie is fantastic! One reviewer writes about how bad the ending is. It's clear has not an intelligent movie goer. The meaning else right over his head. He believes they ran out of money and needed to add a different ending. The ending is purposely fine this way. Its brilliant and fits right in with the spirit and tone of the film. This is not a standard crime film as another reviewer states. It's far above any standard crime film. It's a crime film. So naturally it's about crime, but it's about a part of the London underworld that's hardly seen. Sure there are drugs involved and sex slaves. That's what crime is. If your going to make a film in the crime genre, it's going to have one of those elements in it. That doesn't make it standard. If you like dark films that demand your attention, your going to love it. Its very violent, and not for easily offended movie goers. I can see a lot of less intelligent individuals having a problem with the ending. I won't give it away, but I will say it's not the first movie to end in this fashion. I think it's the most natural way I've seen this type of ending used. So go see this film. If your a smart person. If your not go watch Transformers again.

In the seamy underworld of London cops, everyone plays by their own rules. There is no one to trust. Police units are in league with criminals and competing with each other for increasing shares of the profits. Laws are not enforced so much as used for advantage over others. As vice cop Michael Logan, with a coke habit and indolent nature, attempts to carve out a larger share of the illicit income for himself, he gets trapped between a ruthless pair of Albanian brothers and his fellow officers who are trying to trap him. Those who should be protected by the law are instead neglected and placed in greater danger. The director and writer based the character of Logan on someone he knew personally. Despite shaky acting of some in the supporting cast, this is a compelling portrait of police officers who are indistinguishable from criminals. The betrayals and back stabbings are underscored by a dark soundtrack by Matt Johnson and The The. Seen at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.
