Review of Wasteland

Wasteland (2012)
6/10
Too much extra focus on unnecessary elements.
24 April 2023
It's an almost 2 hour movie that could have been trimmed down to an 90 minute crime caper but they kept a lot of fat in the bones.

Without going into spoiler territory it's a fairly simple take. Boy goes to prison, he was set up by the local 'hard man', gets out of prison, reconnects with friends and a girl, plans revenge on the man that sent him to prison.

What follows is a story of the plan of a heist of a club to steal money... Or is it.

Top many scenes play too long and don't add anything to the actual film. You could fast forward to the final 30-40 minutes and watch from there and you'd enjoy it all the more for not sitting through the over English dialogue, the 'romance' sections, the lads and the Bants.. etc.
