It’s not often that a gritty British film comes out…but this one? The best you’ll see yet.

There are some crime films that are so good that you’ll be left dreaming about it, and that’s what happened when viewers saw this flick.

The 2021 movie has been praised for its originality and devastating ending.

The brutal revenge thriller stars Neil Maskell (Football Factory) as Bull, who returns to the scene to get payback on his old gang who did him over.

A synopsis for the movie, titled Bull, reads: "Ten years after he was last seen, a vicious mob enforcer returns home to find his son and methodically track down the gang that double-crossed him.

"His quest for revenge soon leads to a savage showdown between his wife and her mob boss father."

It was originally released a couple of years back, and critics were absolutely blown away by Paul Andrew Williams' film, which he wrote and directed.

They were so blown away in fact that it currently has a huge score of 93 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, which is no mean feat.

One critic, Kevin Maher wrote of Bull: "What makes it so watchable, even despite the stomach-churning violence, is Williams’s clever, non-chronological narrative, which layers in the suggestion that all riddles will be answered with one closing knockout revelation."

Another, Filipe Freitas remarked: "With a devilishly intelligent move toward the end, the film shows the evil that contaminates the hearts of these criminals. It will hook the viewers without sparing them."

Joey Keogh said: "Neil Maskell's performance is truly astounding. He inhabits the role of Bull to an increasingly disconcerting extent, communicating a lifetime of hurt and anger even while torturing and killing people."

But then Netflix picked it up, audiences who never had the joy of watching it were able to sit glued to their screens in awe.

Taking to social media, viewers have been full of praise for the film itself and Maskell's gut-wrenching performance.

"Watched Bull on Netflix and yeah, it's incredible," wrote one fan. "What an ending."

Another commented: "Anyone who likes revenge films...Bull, on Netflix is rather good. 93 percent on Rotten Tomatoes...Reminded of the great Dead Man's Shoes."

"Don’t know how a brutal revenge flick starring Neil Maskell got past me two years ago, but fortunately Bull is #1 on Netflix now," put a third.

While someone else added: "Bull is excellent! It’s like Dead Man’s Shoes reborn as nightmare and it doesn’t let up from start to finish. Another superb turn from Neil Maskell too!

"It’s on Netflix now. Highly recommended!"

Bull is available to watch on Netflix right now!
