Its is average at best. Super choppy editing scenes rather than actual camerawork, loads of cutaways, no real actual plot to speak of. Opening scene tries to be Reservoir Dogs. It is okay for a giggle but there are scores that better it
@@detestor420 Yes I agree, Paul Bettany was equally as superb as 'Gangster' . Fantastic performances by both actors - and a really strong supporting cast as well. I'm surprised this movie didn't get nominated for a BAFTA....
Casting David Thewlis as a gangster boss. You what? David Thewlis? Actually he's near perfect in the role. Director/casting crew showed great foresight there.
@@Pennywise-hn5qw ... There he was, in those handmade Italian leather shoes, silk socks. The suit? Do me a favor. The man was class. A class act. Style. Im-fucking-peccable. What a man.
This is a great movie and very underated. You also don't see it too often where the main character is an antagonist at least I think he was. You dont really know who to root for but your glued tot he screen throughout the movie.
1 of the most underated films ever for me its in my top 3 scarface obviously first then goodfellas then this I'm a fucking prince darling I got birds comin out my ears!!!!!
You have to love him, he is fucking fearless. Freddy knew how confident he was and should not have treated him that way, he payed dearly for it. Young, cocky, confident, arrogant, fearless, vicous. The ultimate gangster
Brilliant film. My fav of the gangster genre. I think 'C*nt No. 1' would have been a better name though... er.. though that may have created publicity/marketing difficulties I'll admit.
I'll never get bored off this film classic
“You little piece of dead meat” haha such a quality film with some great comedy thrown in. I’m so proud of our little island.😁
This movie has few equals; the fact it's managed to stay so off radar from mainstream adds to it's general badassery.

I don't get tired of watching this movie over and over again.

Great film... A little jewel. :-)
I totally agree. One of the best gangster films of the naughties.
The "YOU SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!" Never fails to make me laugh.
best movie i have seen in a long time
The character of Freddy didn't need fear to get respect, he gave em chance to take the chair and no one did
This was a sick movie. Although I needed subtitles to understand some thing.
David thewlis is gorgeous
No, the bloke playing mad John was so handsome. The nicest looking of all.
Sound track from the 60s
Dialogue is priceless, You fucking kant! I love it! lol
Awesome film
I like seeing a psycho in a gangland movie.
