Review of Dead Fish

Dead Fish (2005)
2/10
Unbearable, poorest copy work in years!
1 January 2007
How is this possible! Such good examples (Lock Stock, Snatch, Trainspotting) aplenty, plus some top actors on the roll and then this crap is the result... If Lock Stock etc. wouldn't have existed, this movie would be quarter-way viewable, but *having seen* the good examples in this genre, the movie has become unbearable. All the copy work, so many examples to choose from, aarghh.

Moreso, if this film would have existed *before* Lock Stock, Snatch etcetera, it still would have damaged the genre to an extend that people may have had hesitations to go and watch Lock Stock etc. as 'not again, please' still ringing in their heads, only to discover after 10 minutes that it *is* possible to make something brilliant of a Cockney Caper Comedy, as Guy Ritchie has proved - luckily.

Avoid, avoid, and watch the good examples instead!!
