Nemesis

Stupidest movie... No Action sequences. I had one of the worst headaches after movie. The movie is like Old man trying to reach for his pills shown in 2hrs with nothing to discuss. All they do is talk talk talk its all runs down to only few words the character names and What do you want?

I was looking forward to seeing this, as Bill Murray is a class act, but I have to say iit is one of the worst crime movies I've ever seen. Started well, but after then went down hill immediately with the prancing around the kitchen scene. Irrelevant to the story line. Would not recommend.

Cheap awful rubbish.

Billy Murray & Frank Harper in awful gangster film. Nothing new there. Nick Moran is a surprise though, you'd expect from him.

It's a wonder that this drivel gets made.

Wooden script. Wooden acting. Wooden production.

If it was a secondary school drama production you'd say B for effort. But you'd never commission it as a serious film production!!

Don't bother watching this, 88 minutes of your life you just won't get back. So do yourself a favour and watch something else. Anything else. Really. Watch a Tesco ad on repeat. Watch paint dry. Watch Crossroads. Or even watch Billy Murray in The Bill when he actually had some credibility!!

I spend a lot of time writing up an elaborate review about Nemesis but realized it wasn't worth it. This film is hard to watch. It's not very well shot. Poorly edited. And the writing is its weakest element. Here are some points that sum up Nemesis.

Some of the best acting is from Rupert Holliday-Evans, who spends maybe three minutes on screen, is completely stationary, and whose character could be cut completely without any loss to the narrative.

In the first scene where we meet John's brother, the color correction changes between shots, back to back. None of it is very good.

In the scene prior, John frequently leans in and out of focus. Damien is just not in focus for significant periods of time. Shots try to include an insignificant character, creating awkward compositions. Except for when they realized this, and they don't include him, creating a strange volley of similar shots.

The only believable characters are the ones who spend the least time on screen. Our major players are pretty inconsistent and mostly just looking to spout cliche dialogue, or to drop an F-word several times in one sentence.

I like to think this is not on purpose, but the relationship between John's daughter and her girlfriend feels somewhat fetishized. In a similar vein, there is no reason for the girlfriend to meet Sadie when she has her tits out. Even if it had been her daughter like she expected, that would still be really gross. I don't understand the thinking behind that.

Yes. The actress portraying Sadie has had a lot of work done. This is not an attack on her appearance. Quite frankly, she has lost some range in facial expression. That's pretty detrimental to acting.

I did not know who the protagonist was a half hour in.

Don't watch this. This is not a so-bad-its-good experience. It's pretty boring at times and just frustrating at others. I think it could be improved with a recut. Maybe 4 or 5 stars. Still pretty weak, but maybe more viewable. I just can't fully grasp how this film stumbles the way it does. Honestly, it's pretty sad to see. I'm hopeful this production group learns from Nemesis for their future work, especially considering that they had an entire lineup already planned before Nemesis was released.

The kitchen scene - what was the point ? Absolutely none, dreadful film that doesn't hold your interest for one minute. The acting is stiff not helped by cringe dialogue and such a weak plot. Nick Moran does his best to add some quality but the producers need to shoe horn his wife into a leading role is frankly embarrassing and when as you see with the reviews you go from a straight run of 1/10 to all of a sudden 10/10 someone's playing games - save your time and energy and give this a wide berth, truly the worst of British gangster movies, take heed of unbiased reviews on all other platforms for a true consensus of the merits of this piece of work.
