S'alright I s'pose

Rating: 6/10 (25 January 2007)

My boyfriend would rate this higher cos it is a boy film through and through. Although I can name many a good boy film that does work for me (recently - Lord of War - outstanding, Casino Royale - rather good old chap)...
Can't really put my finger on what didn't quite work for me - Leo was a bit too intense, Jack was overacting, Matt seemed a bit lost... and it was waaaay too long - a fault of many of these cops/ criminal gang movies these days... if you can't tell a story in less than two hours you are doing it wrong.
Also, not a patch on Goodfellas - which is better told, better edited and far more gripping - I actually felt emotionally attached to the characters in that - not one of them touched me in this...
Oh well!
