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.

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.
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.

Brilliantly funny film and a lovely portrait of a very proud town. Lots of rising talent both on and off screen with the director Jack Spring, well worth a watch if you're from Grimsby or anywhere else.
Colin Mooney was great as he worked with a lot of unknown talent who I'm sure won't stay unknown for long.
Jack Spring is an up and coming director who has a bright future ahead of him!
It was nice to learn more about a town I personally don't have much knowledge of. This is a very fair representation of a lot of towns in England and the film gets this across well and at the same time makes us laugh, definitely watch!!!

The classic saying Three Day Millionaire goes back to the old trawlerman days who spent most of their lives living aboard trawler ships returning to cash in oh their haul of fish and and spend more or less every penny living to the nearest thing these men would ever experience of being a millionaire.
Living local myself in Hull I found this film highly enjoyable a dark comedy that didn't fail to have the audience in laughter.
Hull like Grimsby relied heavily upon the fishing industry in the years gone by.
The film was written beautifully with a Guy Richie feel to it, there was a lot crammed into this movie but people should remember these small British film companies have nowhere near the budget of well established Film production firms camera shooting was excellent and the main cast all did a fantastic job I am sure we will be seeing a lot more of the lesser known actors/actresses in this movie.
I would highly recommend watching this movie!
