Best movie of this year hands down!
Too much of everything
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
Neil Haskell, the lead, isn't a bad actor, but because he was in cockney drivel like 'football factory' and various other low budget British 'gangster' films, often also starring Danny Dyer-by-name, usually also directed by Nick Love, they always stick together don't they? Anyway, we are supposed to believe that a boring fat guy sulking because he has no job, is in fact, some sort of brutal hit-man, with a big house and a hot wife, presumably he purchased her on Amazon or something?Just violence and swearing for the sake of it, with clichés and cockney slang thrown in! The lead is supposedly greatly against paedophilia (who isn't?), but is happy to shout and swear in front of his own child, whilst thrown stuff around the house and abusing said hot wife that he purchased. Dire! The ending was dire!
The Plot. Nearly a year after a botched job, a hit-man takes a new assignment with the promise of a big payoff for three killings. What starts off as an easy task soon unravels, sending the killer into the heart of darkness.This has got to be one of the most boring long drawn out pieces of garbage I have ever seen. The movie has no real direction and just rambles on and on and on.The acting is fine, but it's a real snooze fest.Let's play a game. I am a third into the movie right now....let's see if it gets better in real time. So far it sucks.Half way point and I am bored out of my mind.Three Quarters in and no changeOVER. It's shite.
I was a bit late in finding out about this film, however, I was stunned by the quality of filmmaking on display here. This literally has it all: family drama, dry humor, sense of dread, outlandish violence, darkness, brightness, and much more. What I liked most about this film was the underlying themes at work. This film never hesitates to ask the big questions, nor does it hesitate in showing the brutality that exists in the world. While certain bits may be hard to swallow, there is much to appreciate and enjoy here. Yes, this film is violent. Yes, this film blends genres in a way I have not encountered before. Yes, the dialogue is difficult until your ear adjusts. None of this detracts from the outcome or validity of the final piece though (in my opinion at least). It seems as though the final act is the make or break for most reviewers, and while I may be in the minority, I absolutely love the direction this film takes. The sense of dread is always present, building as the film progresses. The ending brings it all together in an unpredictable, yet very satisfying way. My two suggestions: don't let previous reviews sway you, and watch it with subtitles the first time. The camera-work is exceptional, the atmosphere perfect, and the characters are unforgettable. Astoundingly good film.
There are nuances only the uk/irish audience will appreciate in this movie however I think it still has an intensity that will resonate with most audiences. This movie is in two parts, two different parts but equally intense and with a twist that will not fail to surprise unless you've seen the trailer It will appeal to the type of person who likes crime movies and mystery movies I loved it .. hope you do to
