Yes! For all those viewers in England... I did in fact go and see it last night when it was released for general viewing and it is amazing!
The graphics are fantastic, the film opens with Money for Nothing and from then on it couldn't go wrong. I don't want to spoil anything for those that haven't had a chance to see the film yet so I will just skip ahead to discuss the acting.
Colin Firth- Fabulous and stunning as always. He has a great line which is one to remember when around Jehovas' Witnesses. The suit really works for him and his entire mannerism is well suited to his character. Likewise, Jack Davenport manages to match his upper class approach with a stunning performance that really accents his accent.
Now we come to the master... Samuel L Jackson. I have seen him in many films playing many different roles but this is a role that i have not seen him take on before. This time he plays a hilarious yet somewhat typical and certainly necessary to add to his CV of characters spanned over his many years in this profession. I do think that he deserves an award for his portrayal of a megalomania that can't stand the sight of blood.
Let's move on to Mark Strong and Michael Cain. We all know about both of these guys but it is nice to see Mark Strong taking on the less familiar role as one of the good guys instead of one of the bad guys. Upper Class society really does suit him. There was a hint of nasty in his character but nothing malicious, in fact, it was quite refreshing to see him have a complete role reversal.
Michael Cain was of course awesome. We know that he can play the high class from watching Legally Blond, however, it is a rarity that he ditches his normal cockney accent that we have grown accustom to seeing in The Italian Job, Educating Rita, Batman and Harry Brown.
It's really hard to say anything about this film without giving away everything.
There is of course a rising star in Taron Egerton. The what we would probably now call 'CHAVY' accent suits him well and makes the character all the better (if not slightly predictable). I didn't detect even a hint of a welsh accent and that makes me very pleased.
I loved everything about it.
Watch it, love it, comment!
Here's the trailer for anyone that hasn't seen it or heard about it:
