Extremely uneven film that benefits greatly from strong performances by its talented cast. Even so, this plods along at a snail's pace with jarring flashbacks that take you out of the story. If I didn't like looking at Ray Winstone so much, I might rate this lower...
God, it's so annoying that I cannot seem to get hold of this movie here in Sweden...

This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Last Orders" !
