i have now watch all of paul mcguigan film and love every single one of them . he really go up in my rating a one of the best director around at the moment . other classic he make be lucky number slevin and wicker park and push . it the style he put into his film that really win me over . the set look really rich and marvellous . i hope he keep up his amazing directing technique . in this film he centre on the gangster world in the 1960 england and and pull it off brilliantly . the film be slightly surreal with the odd camera shot and dark atmospheric acting . paul bettany give an exceptional performance a a ruthless psycho of a gangster that will do anything to reign supreme on the gangster family . another cool thing about this film be that you never find out what his character name be . malcolm mcdowell also give a magnetic performance a the old version of paul bettany character many year later . david thewlis and saffron burrow give good support in this classic gangster masterpiece . the film be very original for it intense and very violent scene that will shock any audience that watch it . the track shot and music really go well with this film . there really isn not a problem i can say with this and maybe the film should be on for a little long because of the shortness of it due to so many other gangster classic surpass the 2 hour mark . all in all this film be brilliant . paul mcguigan be a hero director that have really win me over . he a genius . if you love this then check out his other film . positive . j. d seaton .
