Alain E @AlainE Jun 7, 2026 A visual masterpiece and no wonder since the cinematographer is Sir Roger Deakins who has had many awards. I admit that his work here impressed me more than other better known movies he has done, like No country for Old Men. The story is a formulaic gangster plot that takes place in Newcastle UK during a week of strengthening relations with the USA. So, during a banquet we have a clever framing of a small American flag next to the impressive cleavage of the young Melanie Griffith, who plays the moll of a bad guy, but eventually hooks up with the more ethical protagonist. Eventually a Jaguar XJ coupe is being blown up, but the heroes live to fight another day. The music includes the BB King rendition of the title song and some free jazz that is an acquired taste.

See more isla s @RT89656869 Sep 2, 2022 This is a real 80s cult classic type film, with a gritty, noir-ish feel to it and a heavy emphasis on colour (neon lighting/artificial colour). It features an impressive cast - it's worth watching if 'just' to see Sting, Sean Bean and a youngish Tommy Lee Jones. It features slow jazz type music in the background and has perhaps a slight 'Blade Runner' feel to it, even though it doesn't have a futuristic setting - the fact its set specifically in Newcastle seemed random enough to me. Its quite a watchable and entertaining film, so I'd recommend it, yes. See more Feb 6, 2018 Decent neo-noir, that's actually more of a romantic thriller. Where American gangster Tommy Lee Jones tries to move in on a British city in decline to carve out a piece for himself. Sting is actually pretty good in it. As is the chemistry between Bean and Griffith. See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 Nov 7, 2017 Stormy Monday is a decent film. It is about a crooked American businessman who tries to push the shady influential owner of a nightclub to sell him the club. Melanie Griffith, Tommy Lee Jones, and Sting give good performances. The script is a little slow in places. Mike Figgis did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama and mystery. See more Read all reviews
