Once Fallen (2010) 6/10

Starring : Brian Presley, Taraji P Henson, Amy Madigan, Ed Harris, Ash Adams
Director : Ash Adams
Running Time : 89 mins

After a stint in prison a criminal named Chance (Presley) returns home with the aim to change his life for the better. He discovers that in his absence his girlfriend has had a son and leaves him to look after him. But as he tries to turn his life around, he is faced with major hurdles when his son is held ransom against a friend’s debt to a crime syndicate.

There’s nothing original in this movie about a criminal trying to go straight, but the scenes with Harris and Presley are pretty strong. Overall this could have been miles better, and the script kind of meanders about the place with very little direction, but the overall result works reasonably well and fans of crime dramas should enjoy this, even if just a little bit.
