Last Will (2011)
not recommended
I have just watched this on Sky premiere. I cannot believe it was launched in 2010 as the locations and filming were from the 80's. The acting was awful from all concerned and some big names should be very embarrassed. Apparently it was a true story but it all seemed so emotionless and contrived. Oneill and Berenger looked ill at ease and there was no warmth between them. The "bad guys" who were the brothers looked like pantomime villains and could not be taken seriously. The plot such as it was lurched from one idea to another and the viewer was left bemused and by the end I couldn't really care and so wanted the credits to come up.
The Crew (2008)
violence for its own sake
This is a most depressing film. I cannot imagine what goes into the mind of a producer or director of this sort of violent filth. I am aware it is a film of a book called "Outlaws" but it is so abhorrent and uncivilised that I am forced to post this review. If you imagine every type of sexual depravity then this film catered for it probably for the benefit of the producer than the story line or plot which seemed as incomprehensible as the accents of the scouse actors. It is violent, deviant and totally lacking in humanity that you are so relieved when it was over and you could get on with normality. No doubt someone will point out to me that this is ground breaking cinematography but it was violence for its own sake. The good people of Liverpool will be horrified to think that their city is portrayed in this way.This film has nothing to commend it but if you like blood and violence then this is for you.Many years ago this film would have been sold in a plain brown paper envelope from under the counter. Now it is broadcast on a major channel. How depressing.
