One of my favourite British films, so many well know faces in this film, both big stars like Ray Winston, Robert Carlisle and Phil Davis, along with lots of others that Brits will recognise.

Robert Carlyle and Ray Winstone are the archetypal modern cocker-nee villains, and this is a watchable heist/revenge thriller in the tradition of Get Carter and Lock, Stock. It doesn't have the quirkiness and panache of Ritchies best work, but it's a solid british gangster pic.

Hahahaha. This movie has many scenes that's like clips from a music video. The story was alright, typical British crime movie, nothing special really. Lena Headey looks very pretty as usual(altho she doesn't have a huge part here.)
A fantastic British crime film, so far away from the glamourized Hollywood versions of gang culture this shows London criminal culture as it really is. Gritty reality that strangely makes me homesick for London.
No recent reviews.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Face" !
