Payback Season
Payback Season is a British drama film that was released to cinemas on March 9, 2012. The film was directed by Danny Donnelly, and stars Adam Deacon, Nichola Burley and Leo Gregory.
In August 2011, Geoff Hurst signed on to play the part of a football agent, making this his first role in a feature film.Variety wrote that the film was let down by generic material thats light on both action and persuasive plotting, but offered that a later edited release may be more successful. View Auckland panned the film and its director, and wrote that the film was poorly directed and often excruciating to watch, with both a simplistic script and an awkward central performance from BAFTA Rising Star Adam Deacon. They felt that while Deacon was fine when in wisecracking support roles or weaselly scumbags, he was nobodys idea of a charismatic leading man, let alone a Premiership footballer. They did note that while the performances of Leo Gregory and David Ayala were strong, costar Nichola Burleys part was unconvincing and Anna Popplewells was shockingly bad. The Observer also panned the film, describing it as a poorly directed, badly written, inadequately acted film, in which nothing rings true, not even the tones on the characters mobile phones. The Independent awarded itout ofstars but praised David Ajalas performance for its intensity, menace and humour. ........
