Cops kill cops. Everyone dies. The end.
Kate Winslet couldn't hold her supposedly Russian accent.

I agree. It was dire. Over the top violence . Wish I'd walked out after first 10 mins it was so bad.

excellent, nearly as good as "heat" and "training day". Ejiofor plays it hard.

99% packed out in islington, and shame there was some guy who kept asking his mate "what did he say??" :(

I loved this. I've not seen a full on action film for a long time. I loved the corruption, deceit, violence and killing! I found the relationships between the characters intriguing. The acting was great.

I thought this was a decent film-it entertained me-But-I expected a lot more given the stellar cast.

Saw this afternoon at Bluewater, cinema full of the 60+ But full none the less.

Sadly this film was a big pile of Poo! A wasted afternoon off work, watching over the top violence and a lacklustre storyline. Fortunately I had my Colin the caterpillars to keep my amused

Not just a stellar cast an ALL STAR cast.

Despite being 115 minutes, I would say that director John Hillcoat has NOT told the full story which he could have done with 20 more minutes to fill in the gaps that the story needed. I thought it was a studio thing , but looking back Lawless (2012) 116 minutes The Road (2009) 111 minutes, The Proposition (2005) 104 minutes

It appears to me rather than increase the lenght of time to tell the story that needed to be told, he set time limit and tried to fit as much as possible into that 115 minute.
So there are some excellent tense moments that go on on forever due to the drama and the overly long reposonse to the triple 9 and Woody Harreleson chaotic drive top get to site,
So the Luis Da Silva Jr. aka PINTO who went out in a hail of bullets is a morgue shot.

The Big Short 130 minutes
Spotlight 128 minutes
and I haven't even listed any Quentin
JH had the cast told a story that needed 20 to 30 minutes more just to develop a time line as there is time, events just happen, a day/ week later? and link the sub plot or twists
7/10
Quentin Rodriguez & Robert Tarantino
