http://www.mrnice-themovie.co.uk/ the autobiography of Howard Marks

Anyone heard any reviews?

Hoping it's going to be as good as the book, although not sure how they'll pack it all into a movie.

If you take the book as fiction it's OK. But a lot and I mean a lot was made up.

I imagine alot of it was made up, but it was a bloody good story none-the less. Can't wait for the film, should be good.

Went to watch this on Saturday night, quite enjoyed it but mainly because I'd read the book. The other people who came along were very non-plussed about it; IMO they made it reasonably difficult to follow and the relative importance of his interaction with the IRA and MI-6 were not as well portrayed as they could have been.

They should have cut down his Oxford Uni days and spent more time focussing on his later life and also some of his prison life.

All that said, I enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who's read the book, or has any interest in him.
