All that good stuff said, I just wish this was deeper. It's dark, certainly, but there's a certain familiarity and even glibness to it's manic attack on capitalism. Enjoyable, fun, sad, but it feels like inside this good movie was a great one looking to get out.
Unfortunately, the entertainment value of the film lulled a bit during the middle and end, as the film's characters' circumstances changed and a darker tone was taken. This in itself isn't a bad thing in a movie, but I just found the final two-thirds of the movie didn't match the very funny and entertaining first third.
3 stars/5
Danny Boyle is back, after slumming it with "A Life Less Ordinary" and "The Beach." He's in familiar territory here, similar to that of "Trainspotting." We see working class angst, social realism and a healthy dose of the fantastic.
It's gritty, it's dirty, and it's incredibly entertaining. Boyle manages to find gold in the gutters of the slums.
He's also assembled a fine cast of actors, including Timothy Spall and Christopher Eccleston (in "Strumpet.").
Perhaps the biggest triumph lies in Boyle's ability to use digital video to his advantage. The possibilities of the medium are fully displayed here, and the result is breathtaking.
One hopes that Boyle will stick to what he does best and leave Hollywood behind him!
in fact it is a black humour film, very bright and funny on the surface but very sad at the core.
i recommend it with no reserves. it´s sense of humour may be thick, but it´s still worth the seeing.

- PatzerNear the beginning, the chap with the glass eye proudly announces "Look at me, I made it. And I've got a glass eye". Both eyes then swivel to look at Pete, then away, showing us that it is a contact lens.

Pete: The lady downstairs has collapsed - in there! She's in there all... collapsed! And then, there was fire, and I'm puttin' it out. I kicked a door. Oh god, I didn't know! She's still lying there! She's in there, dead, dead I tell ya! Sheila's gone. Oh, Sheila left me. I was in the street, I went in there

Pete: , you came; I don't know what's happening. Say something.
Tommy Rag: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Say it.
Pete: No!
Tommy Rag: Go on! Say it! Docious-ali-expi-fragilistic-ali-super! You're late! And you've got a partial picture of the 1966 England Wall Cop Squad on your forehead...
