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
Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) 03/20/2023
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

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.

I am totally blown away and binged the whole thing in one go, just wish I could have more! See more sevenphotographical @RT33606575 04/03/2023 An insult to the audiences intelligence, hammy, badly acted, dreadfully written, two dimensional, Unbelievable characters have zero actual relationship with each other, it's as if everyone is acting in a bubble, the performances feel wooden and forced, dialogue is cliched and dull, Plot makes absolutely no sense Genuinely tedious and awful "The Business" with no talent or interest whatsoever. See more Alexander L @RT97376185 03/26/2023 Exhausting shuffle of exhausting 80s cues paired with a sheer mindless script. 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.
