Forgive the generic title and parochial scope, and there&rsquo🍸;s a f🐟ine, if minor-key, film here.

Based on writer Bill Gallagher’s 2004 TV series Conviction (and it shows), it follows small-town policemen brothers Paul Bettany and Stephen Graham as they investig𝐆ate the killing of a 12-ye📖ar-old girl.

It verges on ponderous, but with a top cast, including Brian Cox and Mark Stro🧸ng, some big themes (family, memory, guilt) done small, it’s a crisp, cold little thriller with a real sense of the noose tightening around otherwise unremarkable lives.
