This is so not the way to adapt a graphic novel to the big screen, it does not work on so many levels,take half the actors from an old Guy Ritchie flick, an unbelievably bad supporting cast, throw in a dire script, mix in some cheap production values and your half way there to describing this low budget, made on a shoestring British gangster movie.It is so full of clichés and annoying effects especially the filming in black and white with the touch of "Schindler's list" using the hint of red to denote danger and death.This is what happens when a director tries to emulate a film like Sin City without a budget, script and most of all talent.Total waste of one hundred minutes of your life.
Saw this last night - what a disappointment and the worst film I have seen for ages. It was, in my opinion, a vanity project, and while I get that it is the final part of the trilogy, sometimes I would say less is more. The film was full of ghastly clichés, and the plot was at best tenuous, and I'm being kind. The film looked very cheap, more like HDcam noir than film noir, and was strangely edited Couldn't believe how bad it was, thankfully this is the final part of the trilogy. The acting was so wooden it was embarrassing, and the plot was incredibly corny. The black and white shooting, with the odd splash of colour, while done to make it look cool, was just incredibly annoying. This film left me incredibly disappointed and in some ways cheated. Definitely wish I hadn't bothered going
... A good one.
We have seen only few films like this one. Sin City, Max Payne, ... A dark movie, intense, having us dive into the story. Of course the movie is not perfect, but the scenes are well filmed, the actors play very well, and it is one of a kind movie, so to speak. An important fact : despite its imperfections, the movie don't get us bored. On the contrary, we deeply follow it, trying to anticipate the next course of events. Of course I won't mention the artistic "trip" (way of filming in b&w with only one item colored). It reminds us of Sin City.
As a summary, I will say this is a good movie to watch, especially if you like movies like Sin City and Max Payne.

Watched last night at the premiere, a very enjoyable film. The film noir look really worked, and the split screen segments really add to the comic book feel. Some excellent action scenes and good performances all round, the cast were used perfectly, Alan Ford is perfect as the main villain, while Dexter Fletcher and Tamer Hassan really add to the film. Simon Phillips plays Jack perfectly and is very believable in the action scenes. While a thriller there are also some very funny moments, it's the best film of the trilogy so far and I for one would like to see the story continued.
A British film that deserves your attention.

This movie is an example of how to ruin an excellent plot by filling it in with shallow, wooden acting, poor direction, and unnecessary visual effects.
I particularly hate the black and white theme with dashes of colour added in now and then. Someone thought it must be cool, but it those visual effects mean less than nothing, and the movie would have probably done a little better with normal colours (but I'm giving it too much credit, even with this statement).
The screenplay lacks any kind of sophistication, whatsoever.
My time would have been spent better if I were staring at at a wall instead of watching this movie.

- AnecdotesDirector Paul Tanter is also the writer of the graphic novels that accompanied the film releases.
- GaffesThe film opens with Jack being shot as per the ending of Jack Said. We see that he is shot in the back and an exit wound in his stomach indicating that the bullet passed straight through him. Later when Jack is arguing about wanting a strong drink, he states that he was shot and that the surgeon tried to remove the bullet with a pair of salad tongs.
