"From the creators of Sexy Beast comes a new gangster movie.."

NO! NO THERE fkING DOES NOT!

That is the most misleading trailer in the world. Anyone considering goign to see this, let me save you the trouble. Don't. It's st. It has a nice trailer, and it looks exciting, and it makes you think it's got a lot going on, but believe me, it's 90minutes of your life you'll never get back.

Allow me to sum it up for you;

3 minutes of Ray Winstone beating up his wife after finding out she's had an affair

2 minutes of kidnapping 'the other guy'

87 minutes of the actors stood around in the same bloody room saying inappropriate things in regards to the situation and making Winstones character feel like st.

There's a post on IMDB that sums it up.

"It's a stage play set to film"

Reservoir Dogs was a one room 'play' and that worked!

But Reservoir Dogs has some action and a gret payoff at the end. This has nothing to it, nothing at all.

The NOTW review called it 'an edgy gangster flick'. There's nothing to even suggest these bums are gangsters. You learn nothing of their characters, their exploits, their past, what they've done, what they're capable of. Nothing.

Winstone doesn't even slot the guy that's been banging his missus. Just lets him go, then the film ends.

It's literally as though they saw how popular Kinglseys character was in Sexy Beast and said "Right, let's have 90minutes of people talking like that!"
