“Hard Home” (**1/2 out of four) was a tense, hard-boiled action melodrama about a mother (Simone Kessell) whose daughter was recently murdered and lured her killer (Andrew Howard) into a brutal game of cat-and-mouse in which only one can survive. Fast-paced and skillfully done but doesn’t quite hang together for feature length. Still overall worthwhile and good of its kind. Fourth film this year from director James Bramford.
