Montana is a movie with a big heart. If you don't warm to one protagonist then it's likely you'll warm to the other, and by the end you'll be rooting for both. Both give stand out performances. It's a tight, well made thriller, with good pace. Some of the gangsters are a bit cliche, with characters played by well-know actors such as Alan Deacon being characters we've seen in similar roles before. That's easy to to bear. The fights and gunplay is generally pretty ace. The first half has good performances and a better than average story. The second half may be pretty predictable, but is no less enjoyable for all that. This is a good action thriller. It's a pity the filmmakers didn't pay a bit more attention to a soundtrack. There were opportunities not taken. For all that this is an exciting British gangster movie, and well worth an 8 out of 10.
