Vicky Jessop London Evening Standard Feb 5
4/5
A Town Called Malice doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it’s a blast of Eighties-flavoured fun that explores a fascinating and rather overlooked part of British criminal history Go to Full Review

3/5
It's Bonnie and Clyde in Fila knitwear soundtracked by Now That's What I Call Music. But not necessarily in a good way. Go to Full Review

In short, for those who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing they like. Go to Full Review

Malice might be a little too flippant for some crime drama fans, but it offers fast-paced, albeit violent, fun, particularly for those of a certain vintage. Go to Full Review

E M @MaryJay 08/20/2023 A cranking soundtrack dominates, the rest is light entertainment. Pure living in a bubble of fantasy just like the eighties. Styling is great, except the coloured bars above and below some scenes, and colourful subtitles which detract a bit. Lead actors great performances held it in my attention. If you don't feel like thinking about anything, enjoy it. It's been compared to Guy Ritchie, but don't think shlock violent hammy scripts are purely his domain, I can't watch his anyway, too try hard for me. This is light hearted, but you care about the main protagonists. And where it is going. That's enough for me.

See more Alan M @RT07378434 03/25/2023 A great soundtrack refreshing performances by a super cast who do not disappoint the storyline shouldn't be taken too seriously and you need to just sit back and enjoy being entertained.
