There's not much resemblance between the two. I mentioned 'American History X' because the movie reminded me of it while watching it. Surely recommended.ĮDIT: Just because someone asked, I felt I should clarify it once & for all. The movie wouldn't have been so effective otherwise. The actors were all new faces to me, but everyone performed well. I'd not give away what exactly it is, just in case (yep, of late, I've decided not to give out big spoilers as far as possible).

And pieces start falling in their place for him. Liam's attempts to raise money for the two of. Set in Scotland, the film tells the story of Liam, a teenage boy from a troubled background who dreams of starting afresh with his mother as soon as she has completed her prison term. He resorts to crime to make his dreams come true. Sweet Sixteen is a 2002 British drama film directed by Ken Loach. It takes a sneak peek into the life of a boy who wants to lead a sound life with his mom who's currently serving time in jail.
That's where the movie scored for me, because generally I don't get that kind of a feeling for such characters (or the characters I can't relate to). It made me care for the protagonist even after knowing that what he's doing is quite unethical. Determined to have a normal family life once his mother gets out of prison, a Scottish teenager from a tough background sets out to raise the money for a home.
It's not a tearjerker, but the way the relations are portrayed is quite touching. It's relatively realistic & way better than most of the crime dramas I've recently seen.

I know it's predictable, but still.) mentioned that it's a crime related movie, I was inclined to check it out.

(2021) Tian Tian De is a recently graduated design student who just happens to be a dab hand at making ice cream. Now, the title itself is enough to prompt me to click on 'NOT INTERESTED'. Sounds like a chick flick (nothing wrong if you like that genre it's just that I'm not into that kind of movies in general). Dagg, uses long takes and uncluttered setups that leave his actors room to flex.Sweet Sixteen.
Accumulating suspense from the inevitability of a final showdown, the director, Jamie M. The story (by the twin brothers Benjamin and Paul China) is flimsy and the characters have just enough heft to keep the gears of the plot clicking. Set in a remote Alaskan valley (softly photographed in British Columbia by the cinematographer Jessica Lee Gagné), “Sweet Virginia” is a quiet knife-twister in which atmosphere and performance are everything. Gentle and melancholy, Sam mutes his demons with routine and a long-term affair with a married neighbor (Rosemarie DeWitt, fabulous). Waiting to conclude that transaction, Elwood washes up in a motel owned by Sam (Jon Bernthal), a onetime rodeo star limping after too many falls and trembling with the early signs of Parkinson’s disease. The perpetrator, a restive stranger we will come to know as Elwood (played with chilling unpredictability by Christopher Abbott), has dark business with Lila (Imogen Poots), the young wife of one of the victims.

A twisty, small-town thriller that blooms in the shadows and shies from the light, “Sweet Virginia” marshals a relentlessly threatening mood from dangerous secrets and unpleasant surprises.
