I genuinely think this might make it into my top 5 of all time. Slick, suspenseful, amazing setup and payoff, super hammy Ben Kingsley. 👌🏼
Why haven’t I heard of this movie? Kingsley is a great Psychopath, McShane is equally terrifying in a silent way. A Guy Ritchie type flick
Remarkable for a stylish, snappy gangster film to come out near this time that doesn't feel totally stylistically indebted to Pulp Fiction.
The secret ingredient is Ben Kingsley. Also if you don't love The Stranglers after the opening of the film, something is wrong with you.
Fantastic performance by Kingsley and the whole thing has a really unique vibe
Brilliant writing and feels very fresh with its off beat characters and plot structure. A gem of a film
Bursting with ideas and incredible performances. One of those movies I would recommend to everyone.
Similar to guy Ritchie crime comedies, Past their prime British gangsters con each other and con themselves. Gruff, crude, love the accents.
Astonishing, Ben Kingsley splays a very horrible but great character
Unique and dreamy. An interesting twist on the British gangster pic and a very compelling debut film + a very intimidating performance.
