In this gripping action-thriller, Adam (Luke Evans), an ex-con back in his old neighborhood after serving a 16-year stretch for murder, walks a rocky path of forgiveness toward the son who grew up without him, while the bitter, volatile brother of the youth he killed looms in the background. Meanwhile, Mike (Rory Culkin), sick of doing the bidding of his drug-dealing uncle (Alex Pettyfer), is desperate to leave his sordid life behind. When Adam and Mike's paths converge, inescapable destiny will give way to violence… and a final, fleeting shot at redemption.

Ben Sears

There’s another version of 5LBS of Pressure that’s much schlockier and more embarrassing, though there are certainly some regrettable moments, but Allocco simply skates by, doing the bare minimum necessary.

A decent cast make a fist of attempted redemption, elevating the material through sheer will, but the dirt and the gun oil under its fingernails can’t disguise the simple cautionary melodrama at its centre.

In a TV series, you would enjoy seeing what dumb thing he has done this episode. But this isn’t a TV series, and as it stands, 5lbs of Pressure falls into the category of a decent rather than particularly great crime movie.

Overall, a decent, if desperately sad story but not one that would stand out in the crime genre.

This ambitious multi-character crime drama with strong messages about the nature of violence often bites off more than it can chew, but enough of it works to make it worth watching.
