Resumen
Reviewers say 'Marching Powder' is a bold British dark comedy exploring redemption and toxic masculinity. Danny Dyer's performance is praised for charisma and timing. The film's coarse humor and portrayal of hooliganism and drug use receive mixed reactions. Relationship dynamics are central, though some find the plot lacking depth. Profanity and violence are points of contention, dividing opinions on its execution and message.
Opiniones destacadas
Marching Powder starts off strong with a captivating animated opening that effectively sets up its backstory with vibrant visuals and a hint of humor, providing a foundation for the rest of the film.
However, the tone shifts abruptly with a rapid-cut, handheld fight scene that becomes uncomfortable to watch, especially on the big screen. The frantic pacing and shaky camera work is disorientating, pulling you out of the otherwise immersive experience.
Despite what the trailer might suggest, there's much more to this film than meets the eye, and a large part of its emotional depth comes from the character of Dani, the wife. Her story and emotional journey add a layer of nuance to the narrative, making the film more than just a spectacle. Her strength and resilience give the movie a heart that might otherwise be lost amidst the chaotic scenes.
In summary, Marching Powder is an unexpected gem with a unique opening, jarring but necessary fight sequences, and a powerful emotional core thanks to Dani's character. Don't let the trailer fool you-there's a compelling story here beneath the surface.

Powered by copious amounts of lager and cocaine, Marching Powder will do little to quell the stereotyping of middle-aged football hooligans but does admittedly provide the occasional laugh amidst the gratuitous violence and drunken punch-ups. In some regards, it feels like it's harkening back to the early days of Guy Ritchie, however, not even Danny Dyer's boyish charm and undeniable screen presence - when he does manage to recapture the raw intensity that made him a star in the first place - can redeem Director Nick Love's script. Maybe one day I'll actually bring myself to watch his remake of The Sweeney if only for the car chase the Top Gear lads directed. For all the foul-mouthed aggro, the predominant tone is one of mollycoddled smugness, aiming to shock by reviving taboo language and jokes about sitting on Gary Glitter's lap, it's more toothless than dangerous but I can't deny I still had a degree of fun watching Marching Powder. It's awful, don't get me wrong, but in that oh-so-special way that makes it endearingly crap than outright crap but maybe Danny Dyer should stick to popping up on Celebrity Gogglebox now and then.
Proper British film that shows the hooligan football lifestyle and I'm sure many brits will love it.
It's a pretty funny film that makes a few cracks at various things and goes risky with its comedy at times which I can admire as most films are too scared to do that. The whole story about this piss head and smack head not being able to get his life together is fun to watch with all the chaos but overall it's about his journey to change, it never has enough depth for this change to be shown or his romance with his wife. He doesn't really change much by the end of it and falls into the same pattern so story wasn't very rewarding or believable due to not enough depth especially with how easily his wife runs back to his bad behaviour. All this was to me is some pretty funny moments but story needed to be better.
Dialogue was very British but relied way too much on the C word.
Danny Dyer was a pleasure to see at the premiere and the director and they were solid with an entertaining performance and a creative quirky film.

Marching Powder: A laugh a minute serious comedy, the serious elements are rather dark. Jack (Danny Dyer) is 45, a cokehead, heavy drinker, still into getting into fights with rival football firms. His mates really lead him astray, so he claims. He is arrested, up before the beak who gives him 6 weeks to clean his act up or it's prison time. Jack still loves his wife Dani and his son but it's hard to stay straight. Especially when his father in law wants him to look after his crazed brother in law who has a habit of attacking and robbing drug dealers. Dani also wants more from life and goes back to Art College. An extremely violent, foulmouthed film, a romcom, a dark comedy, just a comedy anyway at times. The backstory really demands for Jack and Dani to be 35 for it to make sense but even the great Danny Dyer can't pass for 35 without CGI. Still, it's worth watching. Written and Directed by Nick Love. 6.5/10.
I'm sort of glad that "Marching Powder" has been released just so I don't have to see the trailer anymore. For a British film, this has to be one of the more heavily advertised films I've ever seen - so much so that I almost didn't feel the need to actually see it, I'm so familiar with it's comedy beats.
Jack (Danny Dyer) has enjoyed a life of drugs, lager, porn and football violence for most of his life. Arrested following a fight in Grimsby, he avoids jail on the understanding that he'll start to turn his life around. Truth be told, Jack is starting to consider that perhaps he's getting too old for this life anyway. He's relationship with wife Dani (Stephanie Leonidas) is struggling due to emotional absence and his lack of libido. His father-in-law (Geoff Bell) hates him, and his son (Arty Dyer) is starting to show worrying signs of following in his father's footsteps. But will his friends, and his own anger issues, allow him to change?
The familiarity of the film perhaps extends beyond the oft repeated trailer. Both Dyer and Nick Love have been making films and TV in this South London; casuals; drugs and violence genre for years, with neither perhaps finding the respect they are due for continuing to work, if nothing else. "Marching Powder" is a little different because, despite how the adverts have mocked romantic comedies, that's what the film really is. It hinges not on whether he will avoid prison, but can he save his marriage. There are sub-plots though, some of which contain some genuinely disturbing moments that work alongside the comedy.
Dyer is quite good in this. Admittedly he's playing an aging out 'wide boy', whilst at the same time aging out of playing 'wide boys'. But it's a gutsy performance that exposes himself quite a bit.
Ultimately, like a lot of Love's films I've felt, it doesn't really add up to all that much. It hinges on a moment of violence that should, perhaps, be the final push that Jack needs but, ultimately, we do leave him pretty much as we found him. There are a few laughs along the way though.

¿Sabías que…?
- TriviaHis son in the movie is his own son Artie.
- ErroresThe same blue 2002 Jeep Liberty is shown in 3 separates scenes; Initial football riot, when Kenny-boy attacks drug dealers, when Jack leaves the court near to the end of the film. Not sure if continuity is the right category, but it's hard to imagine that the same jeep would be in Tranmere once and twice in South London area.
- Versiones alternativasThe UK release was cut, the distributor was required to make a compulsory change to one scene to remove a potentially indecent image involving a child. The original version of the scene showed a child in the same shot as some explicit material playing on a laptop behind him. The distributor addressed this issue by substituting the images on the laptop screen with non explicit images, in order to obtain an 18 classification. Cut made in accordance with the Protection of Children Act 1978. No footage was removed as the cuts were made by digital substitution. An uncut classification was not available.
