Original Gangster

In a nutshell, poorly written, poorly delivered and poorly shot but for some reason I'm curious as to what happens even though I've stopped watching it twice.

The is great movie with a gritty portrayal London 's criminal underworld. The movie peaks behind the curtain and tackles some the more taboo subjects in are our society directly and where needed with a bit of humour. Its a tough watch in points because of the realism of the more explicit scenes but if you are not faint hearted you enjoy it.

Lots of good stuff here but then the movie goes out the window MANY times . Why they got SG I have no clue. Could have had a more fitting actor. I like SG he rules but the casting could have been better for that role Christin glover Martin sheen Tommy Chong Matt frewer ANYWAY you never got a good look at her the camera barely showed her where you could SEE her . A little bit later sure. Low budget yes thats cool now if they did an American version it would be great . The bartender story is worth watching the whole movie just for that yes lot of holes like lots tons of suspension of disbelief it does catch you the story and you do need to watch the whole thing. It hooks you in.

This movie was really weird to me. I don't review movies but I just had to add a few things. The rant from the bartender about the toe was pretty good and wow Steve Guttenberg as the bad guy was pretty funny to me as well. I guess I could see the lead being in something else and doing ok but I won't be watching this ever again.

It was fun and kept my interest. Completely. Implausible and absurd but in a good way. More like a fairy tale. Corny at times. It was like an exaggerated story told by a narcissistic teen drug dealer while he had to Much to drink. Suspend reality and have fun.
