Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
viss1 I rented this one the other day and was pleasantly surprised. It's unfortunate it didn't get better distribution; it would have made a great short-term summer release.In general, the flick is nicely-paced, the storyline is interesting enough to hold your attention, and the characters are for the most part fun to watch. The interplay between Wahlberg and Rapaport doesn't always hit the mark, but it works more often than not. Morrissey and Dunbar work well together; they have the same argument a number of different times, but it doesn't really get tedious. Postlethwaite is his usual impeccable self. The biggest revelation to me, though, was Forlani. IMO, she either plays the "sympathetic woman always on the verge of crying," or the "strong, independent, sexy love interest." This role is thankfully one of the latter. I must say she looks the best I've ever seen her look in this flick, to the point where she went up a few notches on my hotness scale.The other reviews cover the plot well enough, so I'll wrap up by recommending this to anyone looking for an amusing, easy-to-digest gangster flick. The surprisingly hot Claire Forlani is the icing on the cake.
netzwelter This is the most boring version of the well- known plot. What the film lacks the most is speed. Nothing really happens over long periods. It also fails poorly to catch any interest for the main two characters, the Englishmen who pretend to be the killers: they're just dull, lame and silly. The dialogs really suck; they're never funny to make up a good comedy nor are they sensible to make up a really believable gangster movie.The only good thing about this whole movie is to see Pete Postlethwaite again (as the retiring crook); his daughter in the film is nice and beautiful. But these advantages don't compensate the severe boredom which you suffer when watching this movie.
seawalker This film had a particularly good cast (kudos to Adrian Dunbar and Donnie Whalberg) and then proceeded to waste them disgracefully. Could have been, and should have been, a riotous farce. It had all of the classic elements. Incompetent villains, mistaken identity, money, pretty girl, et al, but sadly was slow, boring, and crucially, not funny.Still, nice to see Neil Morrissey, stalwart of endless British TV series, getting a shot at international exposure. It is just a shame that this was not a better vehicle for his undoubted comic talents.Major complaint! Where the hell was the babe, wearing the stars and stripes bikini, cuddling up to Adrian Dunbar in the Jacuzzi on the British poster? Now, she would have been worth the price of ission on her own!
WARFAIR I just can make it short: It´s a great movie! The actors play very well and the whole story never gets boring. Maybe some more twists would have been better but - again - to make it short: If you have a chance, see it if crime-comedy is what you like! 8 out of 10!!!
