Stars: Jude Law, Richard E. Grant, Demian Bichir, Luca Franzoni, Nick Raggett, Simeon Moore, Glenn Hirst | Written and Directed by Richard Shepard

For a long time Jude Law was a character actor stuck in stale leading man roles. Recently he has loosened those restraints with work in recent films like Contagion. In his latest film Dom Hemingway he not only breaks those restraints he gleefully shoves them down the throats of anyone who may have doubted his talents. If only the movie surrounding him was better. With a lingering narrative that never amounts to much Dom Hemingway is somewhat a chore to get through. Luckily Law’s ferocious performance is enough to make it worth a watch.

In a character introduction that immediately grabs tight of your attention, Dom Hemingway loudly makes his presence known with a diatribe on the wonder of his personal favorite appendage. Vulgar, violent, and unrestrained Hemingway is id personified.

Demi&#225n Bichir was a household name in Mexico before achieving global fame. Most American audiences will recognize him for his TV work on The Bridge and Weeds. He currently stars alongside Jude Law in Dom Hemingway. Bichir plays Mr. Fontaine, a ruthless Russian gangster that lives in the French countryside. He owes his freedom to the manic safecracker Dom Hemingway, who kept his mouth shut while in jail for twelve years. Now paroled, Dom seeks out his old boss for more than a little back pay. Dom Hemingway is a raucous crime comedy with a few twists. Check out our interview with Demi&#225n Bichir as he discusses this unusual film.

Dom Hemingway was released April 2nd, 2014 and stars Jude Law, Luca Franzoni, Richard Graham, George Sweeney, Mark Wingett, David Baukham, Nick Raggett, Simeon Moore. The film is directed by Richard Shepard.
