At first seemed interesting but as the movie went on it continued to get complicated hard to follow and too much explanation of the plot. Probably even the writers and directors could not figure out what was going on so not only did they have to explain to themselves but also the viewer. Character development non-existent plot twists unnecessary and constant so it's hard to work out what the overall story is. Very disappointing a lacklustre film with a good idea poorly executed and poorly written even characters don't seem to care ending like the movie itself makes little sense. Do not watch!!

The film sells itself as some kind of gangster flick, which maybe true too all intents and purposes but the delivery in the final product is somewhat lacking. While many reviews state Tom Hardy is fantastic which I don't disagree with he is let down by a lack of story, coherence and a narrator that ends up dying through the film before it even ends. Undoubtedly confusing for the audience there was no chemistry between him and his love interest and the actress playing his wife/girlfriend her emotions rarely changed from scene to scene which made you care even less about what went on. I can't imagine why she was even cast her performance was similar to her narration ghostly.

Because this is a British film as always the press (UK) will be raving about it putting all their bias etc telling you how great it is. However in the words of a cockney villain "your havin a laugh", this film is slow boring and apart from its psychopathic scenes of violence which you will not enjoy, I would rather watch paint dry. Like Carry on Films, Wine and Premier League football players this film will not travel well and hardly set the globe alight. Don't believe in the hype and more importantly don't waste your money there is a wall that needs drying and is a far more interesting to watch.
