The Ronnie character with his facial looks was a cross between Ace Ventura and Alex from a Clock Work Orange.

I quite like the film though. Worth a watch.

After the opening 5 mins I was moments from switching it off. The stereotype cockney hard man gangster accent down the phone made me think it's been made by 12 year olds. But I gave it a chance and actually quite enjoyed. It grew on me as it went along.

What I like about Ricky Gervais is even though he is massive in America. He still knows England is his home and sets all his shows in England. And not only that, but he uses proper English characters. Local dialects. Not what others do and have all English characters speaking in a false stereotype BBC accent just to please the US audience. He is loyal to his country. Keep it up Ricky

Yes I watched the whole lot. Only because there was nothing else on. It was ridiculous. A women taking out a company of soldiers with one magazine. More people being machine gunned on the streets of long than a bad day in Columbia in the days of Escobar. Danish SF with terrible tactics machine gunning a farm. The Wallace gang turning up after about 30 people have just been gunned down in a warehouse in the centre of London to clear up the evidence. No police then. Bringing down a tower block again in the middle on the city and no casualties. The list goes on.

And I know it's made for the US audience and not the Brits. Why. Because not one regional dialect. Everyone spoke posh. Even the muscle spoke posh. Not one proper local accent. We need to trust the American audience that they can handle proper British accents and not the stereotype that hardly anyone speaks in reality. Stereotype any other people's accent and it's claimed. And what's a bleeding box cutter. We call them Stanley blades in Britain not box cutters. Another example of the producers thinking "it must make sense for the US audience". Yes I did watch it all. And it was bloody ridiculous
