Three Day Millionaire

Enjoyable flick but if you've seen an episode of Brassic on Sky then you've seen it before. Filled with similar characters- the nice but educationally challenged types, rogues with a heart, with the usual generic nick names Curly, Budgie etc. Still worth a watch for free on Netflix though. Good to see Grimsby as the focal point for all the antics rather than London or Manchester, and you get the right feeling of how tough times are lin these small fishing towns. Acting was of a decent quality and they managed to give enough back story characterisation for a 90 odd minute film, so recommended none the less.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this film. It's not my usual choice of film, but I was very pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed it.

The leading characters were rich and had interesting backstories. The actors really took me on a journey and I was completely invested in them.

Having not grown up in England, I found the concept of the Three Day Millionaires really fascinating and personally thought that many of the themes and social commentaries were relatable to most traditional English towns and villages.

I thought that the film had a really heartwarming and beautiful community spirit too. I absolutely loved the cinematography, director's style and music. Thank you Jack and the Three Day Millionaire cast and crew.

A honest review from somebody who doesn't live in Grimsby, nor knows any of the cast.

It's pretty poor. I was sure it was going to be when I saw a load of first time reviewers giving it ten out of ten. Unfortunately I never learn!!

A group of mates are persuaded by Jonas Armstrong to rob a safe containing half a million pounds so that they can set up their own fishing trawler.

The first hour is pretty much 'will they or won't they take part'. Spoiler Alert.... They do! Once they do it's over and done with very quickly but the film continues.

The lad narrating the film plays his part well, the rest of the unknown actors will probably stay unknown.

The storyline sounds good, the film wasn't.

Went in blind to see Three Day Millionaire , as a lifelong Grimsby resident , unsure of how my town would be portrayed.

( Usually Grimsby is let down in and by most media )

It was brilliant ! Go see it !

Showed how our trawlermen & fishing industry have been lost .

A locations where real and the characters amusing, it was really entertaining , went with two friends we all loved it !

Would recommend to all Grimsby adults , it tells our recent history of the loss of our fishing industry.

In an easy up to date way for all to see and understand Grimsby's history.

Hope the whole country sees it !

In the first minutes I saw where it goes and it means nowhere where I've never been before. All that mix of music and jump up through characters you have some projection as you are seeing a kind of Ritchie's failed work and in that mix of narrator and could say a smell of the ground you are in Boyle's preparing how should be, but still not possible to be done. Even, Ken Loach would see that someone is trying to copy him. Very weak plot can't improve a good acting, even if we have in its cast the names as Colm Meaney. The creator wanted to be realistic, but he created something a pretty much far away from it.
