Nemesis

The kitchen scene - what was the point ? Absolutely none, dreadful film that doesn't hold your interest for one minute. The acting is stiff not helped by cringe dialogue and such a weak plot. Nick Moran does his best to add some quality but the producers need to shoe horn his wife into a leading role is frankly embarrassing and when as you see with the reviews you go from a straight run of 1/10 to all of a sudden 10/10 someone's playing games - save your time and energy and give this a wide berth, truly the worst of British gangster movies, take heed of unbiased reviews on all other platforms for a true consensus of the merits of this piece of work.

I was looking forward to seeing this, as Bill Murray is a class act, but I have to say iit is one of the worst crime movies I've ever seen. Started well, but after then went down hill immediately with the prancing around the kitchen scene. Irrelevant to the story line. Would not recommend.

Stupidest movie... No Action sequences. I had one of the worst headaches after movie. The movie is like Old man trying to reach for his pills shown in 2hrs with nothing to discuss. All they do is talk talk talk its all runs down to only few words the character names and What do you want?

Oh my - I have seen some bad movies in my time but this one is in a league of its own. I checked it out due to Bill Murray and Frank Harper who have done some great films but this was a joke.

Wooden acting, terrible editing and an abysmal script make this one of the worse movies of the year

Jeanine Nerissa Sothcott is an embarrassment and looks as plastic as a real life version of Lady Penelope with dark hair. One of the oddest actresses I have seen with all that botox but she did have reasonable baps. I am not sure though why she had to be half naked in that scene?

Overall dont even bother.

'Nemesis' initially peaked my interest when I saw Nick Moran in the cast of a classic gangster movie. Whilst Billy Murray and Frank Harper's acting skills won't set the pulse racing, I figured I knew roughly what I'd be getting. I was wrong.

The first thing that immediately stuck out like a sore thumb was the strange dialogue, obsessed with everyone finishing each sentence with the other characters name. Remember the classic lines in Snatch:

"That sounds like hostility doesn't it John?" "Oh we don't like hostility, do we Errol?" "No we don't John".

It's like that the whole way through. Ok, I quickly knew who every character was but there's better methods of writing that can achieve that!

Acting was atrocious the whole way through, typified by the bizarre casting of Jeanine Nerissa Sothcott, who literally can't move anything above her lips. Whilst not a criticism of her as a person or her appearance, a basic pre requisite of acting in this kind of role does require an actor to be able to express different emotions between enjoying a nice glass or red wine or having a gun in their mouth. Sadly, she can't.

There are some classic cliché scenes, some bizarre ones and downright ridiculous ones. Very early on we get the druken copper going to the draw, putting the gun in his mouth and not going through with it. Never seen that before....

Then we have Moran at a complete loss with his life, walks in a bar and then a long chat with a guy he used to know completely changes his life around. Really?

Then to top it off we have 2 people with guns arguing over who's going to shoot a guy, when said guy is standing right there pointing a gun back at them. What? If he had anything about him he'd have shot them both whilst they were bickering. This was just blind ridiculous.

The main storyline actually wasn't bad but there's so many other random things going on with sub plots, it's just like a brainstorm of ideas bundles together and ends up a complete mess. A big meeting together between 2 big gangsters, taking up the best part of 10 minutes in the movie, which ends up having absolutely no relevance to the story at all. A filler scene, of which there are many.

Whilst generally being a terrible movie, it's curiously watchable. I don't know if I can give it any credit or it's just my love of the genre.

How anyone can give this a high score I've no idea. Movies are subjective, sure. But this is one of those that makes you very suspicious of any 9's or 10's. 'Mediocre' is a big complement to this movie.
