.Why mate, you wouldn't get it? OK here goes...
It's a tragedy mate on every level but unpredictable and darkly funny with it.
You've got numerous plotlines all going on but all linking into one central story. The rape and murder of a young girl, the bitter regret of the mother who she constantly fought with, filled with self-loathing but determined to bring her killer to justice. The police chief whose underlying sympathy and admiration for the mother is masked by his frustration at her constant and very public criticism of him. Him trying to control a bunch of inherently bigoted and incompetent police officers in a backwater small-town. His sudden cancer and you see how his story plays out, leading to the subsequent route to redemption of one his officers who despises the mother throughout partly because he admires/loves the police chief and in the ends learns to let go of his hate and despite almost being killed by her becomes her closest ally.
Add to that a great script and moments where the writer fcks with your head like the mother telling her daughter in a fit of rage she hope she does get raped and killed, or the Police Chief saying they never got a lucky break like the crim mouthing off in a bar which later comes to pass. It's brilliantly done.
There's so much depth to the film it's unreal. But yeh if you were expecting Di Caprio in Inception it might not be your thing
I like Inception too btw - a great film but even though it's a great film, let me ask you something...

Nice summary Trebs
Yeah watched it recently and give a similar score.Ta laThe Devil All the Time - Netflix. Different and very decent. 7.4/10
1917 Bit disappointed, good but not as good as the hype. 7.5/10
Slow at times...but tense at time’s and the way it was filmed to look like one shot...I liked it
7.3/10
I reckon you'd like the devil all the time mate, bit of a thinking man's film
just had a read up on it...will give it a watch as my next one
been struggling to find a good watch lately
Your own fault though. "The Meg".
Untrue, Crank is a ****ing awesome film.anything with Statham in is ****.
Ok, those two exceptions I’ll grant as he appears to be better when not taken seriously.
