However, Al threatens to destroy her face if she dares to leave him. When the jealous and abusive Al beats her, the social assistant Liz (Aisha Tyler), Kat's bisexual friend Vic (Sarah Strange) and her acquaintance Reilly (Stephen Dorff) that has a crush on her advise Kat to leave Al. Kat is addicted in having sex with Al and dreams on moving to the beach and start a new life. In a dangerous neighborhood in New York City, Kat (Mila Jovovich) and her brutal smalltime criminal boyfriend Big Al (Angus Macfadyen) sell pistols and revolvers on the streets and deal stolen goods. 45 is an amazing debut for writer/director Gary Lennon, full of brilliant acting and an enthralling story. There's something about Gary Lennon's writing that really helps you understand these characters and the reality they live in, no matter how dysfunctional and messed up they may be. He plays one of the most powerful, controlling and abusive characters I've ever seen on screen, yet he's still very much human.

While I've only seen Angus Macfadyen on screen a handful of times, he completely blew me away as 'Big Al'.

I was truly impressed with Milla's performance as 'Kate' and I was pleasantly surprised to see her outside of a movie laden with kung-fu, guns and monsters and instead see her in a wonderfully directed and extremely well written film. Based on other user's comments, the raw emotion and grit present throughout this film might be too much for some, but for me it added an entirely new dimension to the story that really helped draw me into the harsh reality that these characters live in.
