This is a really good film, that seems to have flown massively under the radar :
She Rides Shotgun.
Taron Edgerton plays a recently released prisoner, who in order to survive in jail, became part of an Aryan gang and is now trying to get out of the gang. However it doesn`t work like that and after his ex wife and her partner are murdered by the gang and as they tighten the noose on him, a hit is put on his daughter too, he goes on the run with her and as time goes by, he starts to realise that the gang is not as it originally seemed.
It`s part road movie, part revenge movie, but filmed with real sensitivity and intelligence, as Edgerton does anything to keep his daughter alive.
Edgerton is supposed to be the star of the film and he is very good, but Anna Sophia Heger, as his daughter Polly, is just spell binding and her performance is that good, you can almost feel Edgerton happily handing the lead over to her. The chemistry between them is dazzling.
You also have to bear in mind, that she was eleven when it was filmed - she reminds me very much of young Patricia Arquette and has to be a shoe in for a future star.
I genuinely didn`t think Edgerton had a performance like this in him either tbh.
It`s one of those films that audiences loved, but the critics were a bit sniffy about and I think it`ll be seen as a very good film in years to come.

Having said I was going to watch Small Prophets weekly I got through the whole thing in one sitting at the weekend.
Absolutely loved it. Thank fuck they didn't use CGI.
Looks like series 2 has been confirmed, no idea where they're going to go with the story but can't wait to find out.
