  Don't even hate nu metal but this would work better as a period piece about any…

  ★★★★ Watched 14 Nov 2024

  Grimy British nightmare. Jack Carter wins every fight by being 188 centimeters tall in 1971.

  You expect Carter to be a good mobster. After all, he's Michael Caine, he's dapper, in the opening he's contrasted by sleazy grinning London bosses watching projector slide porn together. This notion fades. It's not so much a twist as a slow uncovering of new ugly facets of the character, richly embodied by Caine. One aspect I found most interesting is how quick he is…
