Review of Riot

Riot (II) (2017)
9/10
THAT DIDN'T GO WELL
21 August 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This is a police drama that centers around Damian (Nick Nevern ) a complex character. Damian is from north London a poor working class area with high unemployment, rage, and domestic violence. The film gives us glimpses of Damian's past, building upon the scene each time.

Damian wants to do good, but at the same time has self destructive tendencies. The problems that he creates by his attempts to do good is smartly contrasted with his own life.

The complexity of Damian's character is well done and the center piece of this film. The picture was originally supposed be titled, "Riots" but that was already taken. If you are not burned out by British cop/riot dramas, this is worth the watch.

Parental Guide: F-bombs, sex, nudity, rape.
