After watching 'Love, Honour & Obey' (one of my favourite films!) I was really looking forward to watching this. It has the general same cast minus Sean Pertwee and Jonny Lee Miller and a couple more. The theme did sound excellent and a must-see from its cover. When I watched it I did feel quite disappointed. I'm a big fan of Jude Law and Ray Winstone and while they acted as tremendously as ever the film seemed to lack a certain spark and Sadie Frost's acting was quite disappointing also. The movie also seemed to be very cheaply made which is more evident in the scene where Jude Law's character is murdered! There are some comical moments in the film that make it worthwhile anyway!

The concept was completely original and refreshing in that sense but in a couple of places seemed to have no logic. I did enjoy this nevertheless and will continue to watch it in the future and would recommend it to most people who like the substance of Brit flicks...I would just tell them not to hope/expect too much from it or to take every part literally. However, an enjoyable little number with some particularly sterling acting from Ray Winstone!
