Dom Hemingway (Jude Law) is just out of the nick after serving a 12 stretch, and he wants what he's owed from his former Boss after keeping his mouth shut, my son!!
Law is clearly having fun as the vile, rude obnoxious Hemingway, a larger than life character, reminiscent of Tom Hardy in the excellent 2008 'Bronson', though sadly the film isn't up the same standards. There's plenty of chaos, crudeness etc but the trouble is the lead character is so obnoxious it's hard to like him or anything he does. An enjoyable 90 minute roller coaster of mayhem and filth but one that is hard to recommend other than for a late night exercise in debrauchery, with a good turn from Jude Law and side kick Richrd E Grant hamming it up to the max.
