From Academy Award® nominated director Jan Komasa, HEEL is a twisted thriller that follows 19-year-old hooligan Tommy (Anson Boon), who revels in a life of drugs, parties, and violence. One night, on a bender with his reckless friends, he becomes separated from the group and is abducted by an unknown figure (Golden Globe® winner Stephen Graham). Though he is no stranger to inflicting violence, he is enraged and horrified when he wakes to find himself chained in the basement of the isolated suburban family home of Chris (Graham), his wife Kathryn (Academy Award® nominee Andrea Riseborough), and their young son Jonathan (Kit Rakusen). The family sets out to reform Tommy's unruly behavior, forcing him to comply with their relentless mind games or seek escape at any cost.​

HEEL


PRAISE: There were two questions i had while watching this movie? What was the endgame? If i knew what was happening in the household and was painted into the same corner as a character what would I do? The story is about a delinquent and then some young man named Tommy who finds himself in one of the most unique rehab and reprogramming situation ever. The movie has great performances, from outright anger, sadness, joy and love. All greatly displayed by Stephen Graham as Chris, Andrea Riseborough as Kathryn (who i had not seen since watching the movie Mandy years ago) Anson Boon as Tommy, Kit Rakusen as Jonathan, Monika Frajczyk as Rina and Savannah Steyn as Gabby. There are shades of A Clockwork Orange and I've definitely watched TV shows and movies with similar threads but this movie comes with its own assortment of twists, turns and suspense. So many morality threads are presented which were all equally interesting and involving. Will i only do the right thing if im pushed? The movie left me with more questions as it sharply with one line of dialogue made me think well what's a real family? One that cares to go the distance no matter how painful it will be to get a "family member' to see the light? To see the error in their ways? But that's one of many of the great things about this movie it made me question myself and what I would give in to help another person. You either accept the help no matter how harsh or continue towards a downward spiral.

PROBLEMS: There's definitely some predictable turns tied to a character because I could clearly see the manipulation even though the movie was trying hard to hide it.

Scale of 1 to 10 an 8½
