Reviews Featuring Stephen Graham
Offers us something different from the usual (and increasingly tiresome) gangland matter, but the end product is confusing, muddled-up and far, FAR too long. Any fans of DiCaprio out there (well, it takes all sorts) would be much better off picking up a copy of the vastly-superior Catch Me If You Can.
A low-key but surprisingly entertaining little film that even gives us a new genre: mafia whimsy.
Lock, stock and no new ideas.
Bizarre, but far from inane – give it a go if you fancy something a bit different.
It tries to turn you inside-out, but it’s all for nothing.
An average gangster biography that just doesn’t leave enough for the heavyweights to play with.
After a few tentative hits Shane Meadows reached his peak with this tender yet harrowing movie about skinheads in 1980s England. Quite possibly the best British film of the Noughties. Sorry, I've probably made Harry Potter cry now. Shut up and cut your hair, you're not a Beatle.
Having a better cast than usual doesn't stop this effort descending into stereotypical cockney gangster rubbish. Stay away from this, you c--t.
A laughable American-made Medieval romp ruined by clichés, anachronisms, ridiculous action and dialogue and Nicholas Cage. Avoid like the plague.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
Pirates of the Caribbean: Seriously That's Enough Now. No longer fun or original and a bit of a mess of competing egos and escalating but boring action sequences.
Would have been one of the better football dramas (facing stiff competition from practically none) had it not been based on a vastly superior book. This football love-in really needs a darker edge to make it more The Wrestler than Escape to Victory.
If you want to see lovely attention to detail and a wonderfully grim portrayal of the Seventies then go see this. But for entertainment and an intriuiging plot you should probably stay away.
