Donald S @RT62559362 Aug 25, 2026 This movie might not just be my cup of tea. That being said, the acting was solid for the cast. I’m just not a fan of the camera work and the jumpyness of the shoots. It’s really hard to tell a life story of a man in less then 2 hours and yet somehow i still want less of it l.

See more Ari V @RT59419633 Mar 15, 2025 Pretty good. The character development, especially that last phase, doesn't fully track, but lot's of great work to make up for this. 3.75/5 See more Wozza B @RT90552876 Mar 6, 2025 This film started off well with some great performances but when it skips 30 years forward it rapidly goes down hill. It doesn't make sense that Bettanys character is later played McDowell whilst all the other characters are played by the same actors. The main character is now a completely different person not only physically but his whole demeanor. Like the link to horse racing within the movie it, 'Started strong but run out of steam in the final furlong!' See more Ant O @RT19973323 Mar 5, 2025 In the end the casting got in the way. Paul Bettany is miscast as a cockernee and McDowell playing Bettany’s older self, plays it without any charm or charisma. Thewlis is top draw but like the film itself he ends up a sniveling shadow of what he was and the film ends up without anything to redeem it. The beautiful flat in, Barbican? Steals the show See more Jake K @RT29497493 Feb 28, 2025 Half decent acting but terrible plot with an anticlimactic ending. If you want a decent British gangster film there are plenty of much better options out there. See more Read all reviews
