Gangster No. 1
Jan. 15th, 2007 03:05 pmThough not as bad as in L4yer Cake this is another Brit Crime movie that overuses trick photography. Also the various scenes with Old Tommy don't work as well as the ones with Young Tommy. Mostly, I think, because there is nothing shocking or unexpected about Malcolm McDowell being a ranting madman. He was fucking Alex after all. Now Paul Bettany as a sociopath, that has a greater effect. A decent movie for the genre, but not one that really brings anything terribly new or exciting...
