Three Day Millionaire

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.

In the first minutes I saw where it goes and it means nowhere where I've never been before. All that mix of music and jump up through characters you have some projection as you are seeing a kind of Ritchie's failed work and in that mix of narrator and could say a smell of the ground you are in Boyle's preparing how should be, but still not possible to be done. Even, Ken Loach would see that someone is trying to copy him. Very weak plot can't improve a good acting, even if we have in its cast the names as Colm Meaney. The creator wanted to be realistic, but he created something a pretty much far away from it.

The classic saying Three Day Millionaire goes back to the old trawlerman days who spent most of their lives living aboard trawler ships returning to cash in oh their haul of fish and and spend more or less every penny living to the nearest thing these men would ever experience of being a millionaire.

Living local myself in Hull I found this film highly enjoyable a dark comedy that didn't fail to have the audience in laughter.

Hull like Grimsby relied heavily upon the fishing industry in the years gone by.

The film was written beautifully with a Guy Richie feel to it, there was a lot crammed into this movie but people should remember these small British film companies have nowhere near the budget of well established Film production firms camera shooting was excellent and the main cast all did a fantastic job I am sure we will be seeing a lot more of the lesser known actors/actresses in this movie.

I would highly recommend watching this movie!

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!

Went in blind to see Three Day Millionaire , as a lifelong Grimsby resident , unsure of how my town would be portrayed.

( Usually Grimsby is let down in and by most media )

It was brilliant ! Go see it !

Showed how our trawlermen & fishing industry have been lost .

A locations where real and the characters amusing, it was really entertaining , went with two friends we all loved it !

Would recommend to all Grimsby adults , it tells our recent history of the loss of our fishing industry.

In an easy up to date way for all to see and understand Grimsby's history.

Hope the whole country sees it !
