Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The talented Glazer keeps things crisp, clean and purposeful. The only flab on this film is around the waist of its sybaritic hero, a working-class crook who has finally gotten a taste of the good life, and doesn't want to lose it.
Fresh: Glazer directs from Louis Mellis and David Scinto's script like a man who knows the outer limits of a bad dream.
Fresh: Its mix of surrealism, coolly chic visuals, and juicy acting leapfrogs it ahead of most of the competition.
Fresh: One of the more interesting efforts in its genre, though it has been somewhat overrated.
Customer Reviews
Excellent
Kingsley exudes such intensity that you feel yourself transported into the midst of the gangster world. What a superb performance. Winstone is first rate, too.
Just when I thought I was out...
This is an excellent script and was brilliantly brought to screen by full, rich, and deep character portrayals. The story line twists and turns with rich suspense in fantastic patterns. Watch this movie, you'll see Kingsley put in one of his best ever performances. He is rage personified in a menacing bold sexy violent beast.
Worth multiple viewings!
The plot, dialog and acting are so intricate and layered you are instantly drawn in. A perfect movie, if it can be said such a thing exists.
