A Rorschach test...

...Knight in political armour
To those describing this as a film for the 1 per cent, I say that if there’s any singular POV in this ensemble picture, it is that of working class cop John Blake. In an oddly heartening fashion, the film is almost about him — the common man trapped in the sturm und drang of clashing ideologies and self-serving agendas. Ultimately, the film asks many big questions and refrains from presenting either right or left as the answer. If anything, it warns of the dangers inherent in drawing those lines in the first place.
