- ChrisMay 4, 2025WOW, can not believe it took me this long to find this little gem. Ultra gritty and realistic look into the U.K. Gangster World. Dame Helen Mirren and Bob Hoskins absolutely crushed it. The final 10-15 minutes were heart-pounding and left you with many emotions. If you are a Gangster aficionado, this is a must-see. 🕴️💣🕍
- falkerOctober 27, 2025An all encompassing performance from Hoskins, and fantastic support from Mirren drives this so hard. Heck even the music is impressive. I wasn't expecting to be completely engrossed in this movie, but here we are. Why did it take me so long? Maybe because sometimes Hoskins looks like my dad?
