In general, interesting story about a guy who wants to leave his past with an Irish separatist organization. Interesting characters and good acting all around.
Johnny Doyle escapes a violent past in Ireland to lie low in London, until his former mentor Flynn breaks out of Brixton Prison, hell bent on derailing the Irish peace process with a few well-placed bombs. Unable to escape Brixton, they are trapped together in Johnny's anything-but-safe safe house, sandwiched between a Rastafarian reggae pirate radio station upstairs and a West Indian 'Yardie' crack-dealing gangster, Julius, downstairs. As the charismatic Flynn finds common ground with the Yardies, Johnny fights to realize a peace process of his own, but makes the mistake of falling for Julius's girlfriend Rita, causing all-out war. A thriller in the vein of Lock Stock and The Long Good Friday, in which questions of race, morality, identity and loyalty play out against a great sound-track of reggae, rock, new wave and soul.
Johnny Was what??? Dull? Uninspiring? Pointless? Silly? So not Lock Stock??? Don't waste your time on this nonsense. Seriously.
I got bored with it. I think it's all the accents and I didn't like how it was directed. It takes more than drugs and violence to make a movie interesting.
I really liked it.. but I can't watch it without falling asleep for some reason.. Interesting little indie..
A good Vinnie Jones movie? Oh yes. Most witty and entertaining all the way through, even if it isn;t the world's most intelligent plot
