An adaptation of Graham Greene's 1939 novel about an ambitious British gangster who will stop at nothing in his quest for ultimate power. It's set in 1964 Britain, Pinkie is well on his way to becoming one of the most powerful figures in the underworld when a naive waitress links him to a brutal murder. He must ensure that Rose remains silent about the crime and he begins tracking her every move.
I did not like this film, the characters are trying to be tough but they aren't, the script is weak, the acting is weak, it's like leftovers that weren't good fresh, no flavor and they taste terrible. Helen Mirren is the only actor who adds to the movie. 2* (I didn't like this movie)
111 min, Mystery directed by Rowan Joffe with Helen Mirren, John Hurt, Andy Serkis, Sean Harris, Geoff Bell, Steven Robertson, Maurice Roeves, Steve Evets, Francis Magee, Adrian Schiller, Mona Goodwin, Kerrie Hayes, Lexy Howe.
Note: Blockbuster 3*, imdb 5.7 out of 10, 53% critic 36% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
