An absolute great film.
The actor of the lawyer also before seen in plebs did a stellar job and deserves to be the actor I highlight here.
Dave is so tuff and i'm happy he made this work in real life as well.
The only bad aspects of the movie were the pacing felt really slow at times and i didn't really care for the romance subplot.
Overall a great movie with some flaws.
