This two-hour film wrap-up of the unjustly cancelled crime series may feel patchy and uneven, but it still gives Liev Schreiber's Ray-a hardcase-for-hire who can fix anything but the nightmare of his past- the send-off he and we deserve.

An engrossing ’80s timeline shows the genesis of the enmity between the young Ray (a suitably intense Chris Gray) and his dirtbag dad (a suitably dirtbaggy Bill Heck). You’ll get it now.

The bad news is, there is no season 8 and the movie's sense of obligation makes it a bit tiresome for anyone not wholly invested in the series. The good news is, sometimes fan protests pay off.

If you haven't seen the show, it's unlikely you'll find very much from this movie, other than some trademark violence and colorful language.
