Review of Redemption

Redemption (I) (2022)
7/10
Plot holes
25 June 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Colette gets a call from the authorities that a woman has died, realizes it's her long-estranged daughter, travels from Liverpool to Dublin, eventually goes into her daughter's house and THEN the kids casually come home not knowing at all that their mother was missing from their home all night or that she's dead.

The whole thing of not handing the bag of stolen drugs and cash to the organized crime squad is fairly contrived with the only reason being to protect the children from the possibility that their mother was a criminal, or something.

Somehow the fact that Colette withheld this evidence (kept it in the house and the car!) and the fact that her partner's fingerprints would be on it are glossed over or forgiven.

Colette gets a call at 8:30 PM to meet the baddie "in 40 minutes" where they have a confrontation, then after sunrise at the same location we see him being loaded into an ambulance and her granddaughter being treated in another ambulance. So about eight hours elapsed between the confrontation and taking him away in the ambulance? What were they doing hanging around there all that time?

7 for the performances, pacing, and otherwise OK plot but it's a little beyond belief.
