Surprise, surprise - another Brit gangster movie, but what's no surprise is that like many others before it, it's bloody good.
This should go down very well in the States with its current love affair with the Sopranos - Ray Winstone pulls off a brilliant Brit-icised version of James Gandolfini, and Ben Kingsley decides to out-de-Niro de Niro.
Around two hours long, it doesn't feel like a long story. The character numbers are low, and the story is very tightly packed around the central theme of Ray coming out of retirement to do one last job. The bizarre dream sequences also hammer home that Sopranos feel.
Does anyone else remember Ray Winstone when he played Will Scarlett in 'Robin of Sherwood'?
