Angie (Kierston Wareing) is frustrated after getting fired from being a recruiter. She's 33 and in debt. She's tired of dead end jobs and decides to start her own recruitment agency with her flatmate Rose (Juliet Ellis). They struggle to build up the business as Angie gets pulled into using illegals as laborers. Her son Jamie is getting in trouble at school and her parents want her to be more involved. They disapprove of her work. She's sleeping with Pole laborer Karol. Mahmoud is an illegal and political dissident from Iran who has his wife and kids.
Director Ken Loach tackles the modern world of labor and illegal immigration in a real world way. It's all murky and ethically challenged. Wareing is pretty good. She's great as a hard-headed woman always striving. There is a shocking turn. It's not the shocking turn that I would expect. I can't complain because it fits the murky ethics that is the backbone of this movie. This has a point of view and sticks to it all the way to the very last scene.
