Continuity of scenes please

This could have been so much better why on earth do they not hire a decent continuity director. It's so fractious and chops from scene to scene with little explanation. It's like they left a quarter of it on cutting floor what a pity

Could of been so much better

I'm a big fan of the gangster genre and was excited when this film started production but! This film could of been a lot better the story is a great story to tell but the way it was made wasnt the greatest it jumps about and skips over Important parts and the dialogue was a bit kringy in parts, it's not the worst film but I was disappointed

More fake ratings

IMDB is sadly becoming known for fake ratings. This film is one big bag of gangster film cliches from one scene to the next. It lacks a compelling story (which is a shame considering it's based on real gangsters) and I could care less about the main characters. Don't waste your time with this. Stick to football hooligan or Guy Ritchie flicks if you want to see a halfway entertaining film about English gangsters.

Confused and falls Short

This had such potential....good acting and a decent script. However this is a very disjointed and confused adaptation. Cinematography is bleak and lighting is depressing. The musical interludes were awkward and have no gravity.

Watchable, but only just.

Mediocre at best

I was trying to understand how this movie got such a high rating, and can't. Math doesn't seem to add up! Movie itself was "bleah". Wasted time.

In each of the scenes in court, the Judge is seen wielding a gavel. Judges in British Courts of Law do not and never have used gavels.
