Three Day Millionaire

Witty comedy about local people in a local town. Top top film. The characters resembled such a relatable youthfulness that everyone can connect with, and their passion and pride for their home is something that everyone feels about where they're from. The plot was very easy to follow and the comedy balanced with the heightened level of seriousness was found in the perfect moments. The brotherhood between the three main characters was very evident and helped the audience get behind the boys from start to finish, with everyone feeling like they could see a bit of themselves in these boys. The direction and shooting of the film is also beautiful and showed Grimsby off to the world as more than the stereotypical way people think of it. Great film!

The film has humour that constantly creeps up on you, I live local to Grimsby and have spent some time around the fishing industry to know the characters are portrayed incredibly well. It contains enough depth to really get a feel for the personality of everyone involved. A contemporary insight into how the transition of life within the fishing industry within a town so dependant on it alone is a good enough reason to watch. To top it all off It's always refreshing to watch a film that doesn't go the exact way you expected it too. I got the pleasure of watching it at a q&a with some of the guys and girls involved which was a really interesting experience to get some of the behind the scenes understandings of what it took to put the movie together. Job well done to everyone involved.

A massively lacklustre and stereotypical attempt to copy what's been done far better in the past. Assume only the cast have rated it so far given marks of 10 (I mean seriously, according to the user reviews it's more accomplished than Ben Hur). It's a lazy 4 at the very best. Script and delivery isn't slick enough for what it's trying to achieve and the lead characters overact and don't have the style or gravitas to pull off their roles. Got bored after about 20 minutes.

Wouldn't recommend unless you know Grimsby and perhaps enjoy recognising landmarks or can link to the history in some way. Or love ships / fish.

Enjoyable flick but if you've seen an episode of Brassic on Sky then you've seen it before. Filled with similar characters- the nice but educationally challenged types, rogues with a heart, with the usual generic nick names Curly, Budgie etc. Still worth a watch for free on Netflix though. Good to see Grimsby as the focal point for all the antics rather than London or Manchester, and you get the right feeling of how tough times are lin these small fishing towns. Acting was of a decent quality and they managed to give enough back story characterisation for a 90 odd minute film, so recommended none the less.

A honest review from somebody who doesn't live in Grimsby, nor knows any of the cast.

It's pretty poor. I was sure it was going to be when I saw a load of first time reviewers giving it ten out of ten. Unfortunately I never learn!!

A group of mates are persuaded by Jonas Armstrong to rob a safe containing half a million pounds so that they can set up their own fishing trawler.

The first hour is pretty much 'will they or won't they take part'. Spoiler Alert.... They do! Once they do it's over and done with very quickly but the film continues.

The lad narrating the film plays his part well, the rest of the unknown actors will probably stay unknown.

The storyline sounds good, the film wasn't.
