Dead Fish

It's a British film with the typical British crazy humor but also with a strange and a bit confusing plot. It has its moments in spite of not being a great film. The cast is good. The most sonant name is Gary Oldman, but there're other good actors. One that I find hilarious is Robert Carlyle, also in this movie, but not only. I think this guy is quite funny and his characters are always comical, in one or another way.

This movie is not great but it has a large amount of comical scenes and the plot is quite entertaining, even being confusing. So I think it's not as bad as some users here in IMDb told it was! I score it 5/10.

Don't be fooled by gifted actors like Gary Oldman or Robert Carlyle. They simply can't save this movie. It really tries hard to be cool, but fails in every way, and then it tries some more.The story is very confusing, and in the middle of it, you just don't care anymore. Many of the scenes are way too long, with lines that tries hard to be funny,and doesn't make it..but still the scenes move on still trying. The editor must have lost the entire movie in a blender, and then stapled it together. The acting between Billy Zane and Karel Roden makes me crumble into my rear end. This is just a pathetic attempt to make a hit like Lock Stock and two Smoking Barrels. Charley Stadler...sober up!

This movie seems to aim at the same public as snatch would, but the movie doest't even come close to that.

When we started to watch the movie my girlfriend said in the first view minutes "bad movie". I like to stay a little more optimistic in these cases but in this case it was false. You can't really get a grip on the movie. It does't take you trough the story.

The worst is when the killer starts singing. I really was wondering WTF is going on now. Later on the killer again is talking about his love for the girl. Then I started feeling some sort of shame and hope he would't start singing again...

It is not the worst movie i have seen but it really is not what I expected.

I must admit I quite enjoyed this film. I think it works best as an over-the-top parody of such movies as "Lock, stock..." or "Snatch". The plot makes no sense, rhyme or reason. If you're after a cohesive plot, you'd better look elsewhere. The characters are at times funny and at the same time verging on annoying (think the character played by Brad Pitt in "Snatch", only stretched to the entire cast and entire duration of the film). Absolutely no way for suspension of disbelief here. So, again, if getting immersed in an action film is your thing, look elsewhere. All in all: noisy, clumsy, over-the-top, silly, but for some unknown reason the overall experience for me was actually not so terrible.

Starts out with a cellphone exchange between the hit-man and the innocent bystander. The bystander suddenly gets a call from the hit-man's boss, and the game is on.

It was to me a good movie gone "bad". Robert Carlyle did a great part of saving the movie but it wasn't enough to capture me to the standards i hoped after the great trailer.

To sum it up in shortness; Salvador gets the hit-man's phone. The hit-man(Lynch) falls in love with Mimi(Salvadors girlfriend). Then the madness starts. Lynch wants Salvador dead, Danny Devine wants money from Salvador, Dragan wants to kill Salvador because he thinks he is Lynch.

Well, as you can see from my writing. This movie made me confused, and i don't want to advice you to see it any later then 8PM.
