✗ SKIP — Not worth it
Young Adam
2003 · 1h 33m · Drama, Thriller, Crime, Romance
Skip this one unless you're a David Mackenzie completist or crave bleak, slow-burn British noir—it's a grim slog through moral ambiguity that never quite justifies its deliberate pacing. The premise has promise, but Young Adam gets lost in its own murk without enough psychological insight or narrative payoff to earn your time tonight.
