This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Good movie, could have been great. Ending really left me gutted!! Nice twist ....but not nice if you know what I mean!? Farrell was better than his usual self, albeit playing his stereotypical role. Expand

The cast was great but the script was never near to their potential

Colin Farrell is always fun to watch ,even Ray Winstone he has that gangster class William Monahan is a Academy award winner he should have done better Kasabian -

Kasabian - La Fee Verte is one good thing from the movie!

Before watching this movie an elderly geezer had commented loudly every bite I took out of an excellent sole at my favorite Italian hang out.

He offered that I eat it like I got released after 30 years in the box, and gave a non stop live commentary on a lot of other things. Very opinionated. This made me think how life must be, being George Clooney or John Malkovich, if one gets recognized and commented on non stop like a Director's Cut Blu Ray Disc. Love Keira Knightley ever since "Bend it like Beckham", "Love Actually" and "Pirates of the Caribbean". Keira is playing a believable "damsel in distress" (Manhattan Dating Project). Ray Winstone, whom I adore in "Sexy Beast" & who booked a rewarding VW campaign which I had wanted, does an excellent job. Colin Farrell ends up in Londonistan instead of "In Bruges"after some time away & yet does not behave like Eddie Murphy in "48 Hrs.", but keeps his dignity & style. Almost Zen like. Rainer Maria Rilke finds his way into this Post Punk Gangsta extravaganza, as well as some other entertaining one-liners. More brutal than a "Fish called Wanda" & yet not as scary as "Candyman", if you so wish. Steven Dorff "Somewhere" should have made a Cameo, if you ask me. Same as some "Mulholland Dr." Castmembers. Having lived in dystopian UK headquaters, where certain elements are way out of whack, this roughed up ghetto "Notting Hill" version touches the viewer like an uber frozen Strawberry Daiquiri blended in the style of up a Long Island Ice Tea. I yet have to find a picture with Colin Farrell which does not entertain. Expand
