my favourite film of all time . this be a film that i saw by complete accident and browse foxtel one day and catch it 10 minute in . even though i would miss a few thing crucial to the plot and there be plenty of other element to this film that keep me watch . for starter and the acting performance by paul bettany be complete brilliance . his portrayal of a psychopathic gangster be unbelievable and if not sometimes a little scary . malcolm mcdowell play gangster 55 with coolness that young others just do not have . a suave that only actors with his many accomplishment can carry . david thewlis be awesome a freddie may and the cool gangster in film history . flawless performance . in fact and the acting in this film be flawless all round and there be no weak performance . a somebody that have never experience the 60 and i find all of the scene that take place in that era completely believable and a very romantic idea for what the london underworld would have be like . an unreal film .
