Gerard Johnson’s Hyena (2014) is a brutal crime drama. The complicated threads of a London policeman’s life slowly unravel as two Albanian brothers take over the local rackets. Shot like a documentary, it has that gritty social realist feel I associate with Ken Loach, Mike Leigh, and Andrea Arnold. All the performances are strong, Peter Ferdinando, Neil Maskell, and Stephen Graham stand out. And to top it all, The The provide the soundtrack.
