The sole redeeming feature in this movie is Robert Carlyle's over the top loan shark - and even that gets overworked in this Lock, Stock/Pulp Fiction wannabe.
The dialogue was frequently unintelligible, scenes were overly long and the ending forced.
I like quirky English films...but quirky English films with plot and good character development.
And Gary Oldman's character singing for no apparent reason? That was worse than the infamous shark jumping episode of Oz, where the prisoners sing. At least JK Simmons can actually sing.
I spent the princely sum of $5 Canadian on this, and wish it was a rental fee instead of a purchase price.
This could have been a good movie. It almost seems like the breakdown in communication the film attempted to portray actually did happen...but between the screenwriter, the director and the editor.
