The rise wasteland 2012 official trailer hd


The Rise (titled Wasteland in North America) is a 2012 British crime film starring Luke Treadaway and Timothy Spall with a revenge theme.

Contents

About his part as Dodd, Matthew Lewis, in his interview by the Yorkshire Evening Post said; "The character of Dodd was really fun for me to play. He is the biggest of all of his mates and very loyal. He’s on the front line but isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer."

Plot

The film opens with DI West (Spall) interviewing Harvey Miller (Treadaway), a would-be gangster who fell in with the wrong crowd. In flashback we are shown how Harvey, 6 weeks earlier, had been released from prison; he had been led astray and now wished to gain revenge on Roper, the man who caused many of his problems. Harvey's relationships with his "friends" and acquaintances are then severely tested as he reveals, in the interview, details of his recent life to West. West reminds Miller of a football match during which a player of a similar description to Miller's, was "let down by his team". At that point West has to leave the room but does so without stopping the tape recording of the interview (which is now inadmissible as evidence); when he returns he finds that Miller has recorded on the tape, details of a robbery during which he took his revenge on Roper.

  • Reception

    Allan Hunter, writing for Express.co.uk described the film as "a smart little British thriller" with a "lousy title".

    Simon Crook, in empireonline.com wrote that "there’s a fresh Angry Young Man feel to this botched-heist thriller" and "It may not be immune to the odd Brit thriller cliché, but this is an assured, stylish heist thriller from the debut filmmaker."

    According to Ben Sachs, in Chicago Reader; "This British heist picture is familiar but energetic genre filmmaking, more interesting in its particulars than in its overall conception".
