Probaby ST. I'd barely heard anything about the movie so wasn't expecting much. But as a black comedy I thought it worked very well.
May well have ripped off Gandhi but I care not. And another thing, Ray Winstone. Last film I enjoyed of his was the seriously under rated Love Honour and Obey but most of his other recent(ish) performances have been dreadful. Anyone care to nominate a decent performance of his?
I have hence my comment regarding Ray Winstone. The fat fecker hasn't done a decent film for years and I don't think he was that good in The Departed even though I reckon it was a good film. Jack Nicholson was far better. Even in Beowulf Winstone ended up being a cockney geezer - "I've cam ferr your Monstaahh!" To paraphrase Lee Mack Ray Winstone is so cockney it hurts!
winstone's accent in departed was terrible!! on a par with connery's in untouchables. Is 44 inch chest any good?
