From IMDB:
An American expat tries to sell off his highly profitable marijuana empire in London, triggering plots, schemes, bribery and blackmail in an attempt to steal his domain out from under him.
From Netflix you can stream this 1 hour 53 minute complete British action crime film.
Most apt category that describes this film is “Extreme Violence as Comedy” which we saw in other films such as “The Boondock Saints”, “Killers”, and “Fargo”. Did I mention that this film is VIOLENT?
But it really is entertaining and fun (what does that say about us?) What really sells the film for me is the well choreographed ensemble work. And what an ensemble of actors! To name only a few:
- Matthew McConaughey
- Charlie Hunnam
- Michelle Dockery (who has really escaped from Downton Abbey)
- Colin Farrell
- Hugh Grant
- Eddie Marsan (Familiar or not, you see him in many films)
- Samuel West (Another “seen everywhere” British actor)
Another great guilty pleasure. Not for children.
