From the opening scenes to the ending, Ruthless delivers. Dermot Mulroney excels in the role of Harry, a troubled high school coach who's dealing with the loss of his daughter. The story is strong and the drama feels real. A pleasant surprise comes in the fight scenes; They seem very real and brutal; not choreographed. They are very visceral. Dermot brilliantly brings out the angst and deep seated sorrow of a father whose daughter was killed. Overall the script was good with the exception of some scenes that were un believable considering the tone of the movie. The photography and direction was strong as were the performances.
