ThiefHott Too much of everything
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Marc Bolton A waste of money making itA waste of time watching it A waste of actors being in it A waste of paper for the script A waste of a beautiful location In every way it's possible for a film to fail, this film manages it. The dialogue is terrible, the characters imbecilic, the story transparent, the pace turgid, the music intrusive, the slow zooms incessant, the ending disappointing and the cover picture deceiving. If you're looking for an enjoyable British gangster movie, or a thought provoking drama, this isn't it. It's trying to be something it's not, punching waaay above its weight, and missing the mark every step of the way. SLOW ZOOMS AND LINGERING SHOTS ARE NOT ART!!Anybody who gives this film a rating above a 3 is either in need of seeing a lot more films or a plant. I'm only giving it a 1 because Ray's in it. If he'd been playing the main character it might have rated a 2 or 3, but as it stands, a 1 is all this film is worth. Be nice to yourself and avoid.
ArchieIsCool As usual I saw Ray Winstone and thought oh sounds a good film, boy was I wrong Most of her film is set in Italy following Glen Murphy's character walking about fields and tight streets meeting an Italian cafe owner and getting involved in his granddaughters English boyfriend meetings but no one really sees him only this old man, Ray plays Glens dad and is a nasty piece of work this is in flashbacks .I couldn't make sense of this film it was too boring but I think Glen's character is actually dead and that's why no one sees him except the old man who I think is his grandad or great grandad I don't know blooming awful and a waste of time.
concierge-932-781144 What a great film this is, superb acting by everyone, this is what watching films is all about, great story, imaginative filming, wonderful acting all round, it's very difficult to find a better actor than Ray winstone, brilliant cast, fab storyline, all the actors are on top form, it's one of those films you can get your teeth into, definitely worth buying, comes over as a very real film, there is not enough films like this made these days. Can't see why some people seem to have a problem with this film, the editing, production and directing are all first class, it's a film that makes you think, surely it can't get any better than this, keep your eyes open for more films that include this cast, you will not go wrong.
Eggenberg Well, Lawwds of Lahndaan... It's been on my "What's this one all about?" scroll-past list for a while (other, better fodder seems to have always presented itself). As nothing else caught my eye tonight I decided to feed my shameful desire and watch a bit of "Fawh Sevin Free Sevin Carlin!" Ray Winston malarkey. Yeah! 'Ave it!Oh foolish me!From hereon in, instead of typing out Lords of London I'll refer to it as LoL. To me that's acronym's fitting.So, LoL. I think it's other name is Lords of London (Lost in Italy) but this additional part of the film's title seems to have become... lost. Hopefully without giving away the big surprise of the film I think "Lost".... in Italy would have worked better because in a right cackhanded way that's what this film's trying to be - with ragou! You'll probably cotton on to what this mish-mash of a title is all about by the - thankfully early - scene in which he encounters a living, breathing person for the first time. To be clear I'm not saying that to sound like a right Clever Dick, it's just it's as plain as the nose on your face what's happened, what's happening and what's going to happen. Now this isn't necessarily a bad thing with a movie - that "knowing what's going" - however with this film I found myself not caring after about 30 minutes in.You have the ubiquitous Ray Winston roaring "Faaahki*g Caaa**!" etc. and the odd scenes of uber-violence (some with Big Ray in 'em!) by way of flashbacks slung in usually when the main character (played not by Big Ray but by Glen Murphy) has a bit of a fuzzy moment as he's lurching around a small, Italian town seemingly oblivious to what's going on even though I was pretty damn convinced that if I was him I'd have worked it out ages ago, stopped running about the place and sat myself down for a meal and a bottle of wine at the local taverna. Other than that it's pretty much Lost in Lombardy and you're wishing you'd gone to bed instead.The acting is, on the whole, pretty strained and unconvincing (the scene featuring the dance at the village hall or whatever it is - god help me! If ever I've prayed hard for a Godfather style invasion of gunmen it was at that point). Ray Winston's Ray Winston (however briefly) - he snarls about for a bit doing the Winston thing. Glen Murphy (Who's 'e?) looks confused and in need of a sit down. The rest of the cast were there - one point for merit.I got two things from this film: a desire for it to be over soon was the main thing but the camera work in the Italian town was a saving grace making it look like a nice place to spend a "Love's First Bloom Rekindled" short-break with my wife. We like Italian food and rustic European towns. Other than that an entirely dull and forgettable film that left me compelled to write my first ever review in the hope I can reach out and save at least one person from repeating my folly.In my best Cockney accent: do y'self a fayvah, sunshine an' givv this wahhn a miss - it's a load of old Tom Tit!
