Opening on Friday, July 31, “The Shadow of Violence” is noteworthy both
as a film and as a turning-point in cinema since it will be the first
film I’ve reviewed since March 13th that is opening in physical theaters
rather than as VOD, or what they call “virtual cinema” (venues listed
below).
Based on Joe Murtagh’s adaptation of Irish author Colin Barrett’s “Young
Skins,” first-time director Nick Rowland has made a somber film about
the plight of Douglas “Arm” Armstrong, an enforcer for an Irish drug
gang based in the western Irish countryside. From the beginning of the
film, you expect things to end tragically for Arm but stay with him out
of compassion for a man trying to break through the bounds fate has cast.
