I’m just in from seeing a preview of this new British gangster film. It’s directed by the producer of Lock, Stock… but is a far cry from that particular classic in style, but not in quality. The funky special effects and voiceovers are pretty much done away with after the scene-setting, leaving the story itself and some clever camera work to entertain you for the 90 minutes or so that it runs for.
I won’t spoil the story, just recommend you go see it if you like a clever plot and some damn fine acting. Probably some of the best performances I’ve seen in a while. Not big, brash or over the top.
A great example of why we should be supporting British cinema. And a mile better than that crap about the kid who wanted to be a ballet dancer.
I didn’t recognise him! I think the only people I could say I’d seen before are the Irish guy from Star Trek and The Rock, and Michael Gambon from… errrr… Top Gear.
Was great to see Daniel Craig in the lead role on the big screen, always been a fan of his, and this has to be one of the best performances since ‘Our Friends in the North’.
Definately go and see this film, it is a British classic 🙂
