Tony Heck After stealing a getaway car with a local crime boss in the trunk, Mickey (Gregory) is thrust into a world of human trafficking and ruthless killing. When the crime boss Don Barber is let go by Mickey he suddenly realizes that Mickey is a man he wants on his payroll. Mickey is tasked with trying to find out who attacked Don and to extract revenge. Since "Snatch" came out it seems like everyone is trying to make the next one, or be the next Guy Ritchie. Since "Snatch" I think that "Layer Cake" is the only one that can be compared to it. This movie is very violent and bloody, that's where the similarities end. I just really couldn't get in to this one. Some parts were pretty good, but they were few and far between. It didn't hold my attention. I give it a C-.Would I watch again? - Nope
smurf1020 I have seen many UK gangster films and many from the states etc and have to say it seems that the film makers have too. I found this film to be very poor. The story was predictable, the characters had no depth and the whole thing felt like it had not been thought out. The main character could not carry this film and his story was so weak that the audience could not sympathize with him. This reminded me of a poor man's Layer Cake (minus the acting skills of David Craig) and I would go as far as to say that a Danny Dyer film would look Oscar worthy in comparison. It was a shame as the main actor has played a few decent side characters in other Brit films but films such as this and his performance in Goal 3 should lead him to ask if his agents are doing the right thing for him. Work is work in the world of actors but I would rather be stacking shelves than making this rubbish.Avoid at all costs.
g_n opinion about plot: A bit from Scarface, a bit from Lock & stock, short time line and some creativity to mix it all up to make mediocre Brit-gang movie. The rise of skinner seemed to happen too fast, some of characters seemed to be unnecessary and of course the happy ending is some of the things which made this movie too predictable and too naive for its genre. ---//---- actors: Skinner (Gregory) - overall good work although in some places it seemed that he is overacting the big boss role, but he somehow managed to pull it together Martell (Madsen) - if you haven't seen Hell Ride, than his job in this piece looks very impressive - cool gangster type and so on, but if you seen it than it looks like The Gent is somehow traveled to UK - same style, same manners, well it looked like copy/paste work for him Barber (Regan) - one moment he is English, next moment he is Russian in the end he is dead. Nice work for depicting mentally unbalanced mob-boss Liza (Rosen) - you could put any model type girl in this role, give her stupid accent, sad history,and you got Liza. another boss-girl type performanceConclusion:If you have 2 hours of your time and there is nothing to do really, than go ahead, good way to spend time, but if you are a fan of this kind of movies, than better look something from the genre classics
nasasaturn1 Accurate and realistic UK urban story, great camera with a mixed UK-USA cast !! Leo Gregory, an actor who has always been second lining, finally got a chance to prove him self and play important role in his acting career.Nic Auerbach a newly arrived UK director showed us something we have forgotten after Guy Ritchie real movies "Lock, Stock.." and "Snatch", Nick Love's "The Business", De Rakoff's "The Calcium Kid" - "Dead Man Running"... and related UK criminal genre movies.It appears that Hollywood producers spend BIG money to make films for their audience only - making sure to make a 1001 cliché !!! Give Nic Auerbach a job to make a movie - he will do it right.And of course I almost forgot excellent Vincent Regan !!!-review by Scooper
