Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter 05/13/2019
Scalpello and screenwriter Nick Moorcroft take the lowest common denominator route, falling back on tired mob-movie clichés, stock characters and leaden dialogue so generic it could have been written by an algorithm. Go to Full Review Mike McCahill Guardian 05/10/2019
2/5
The storytelling connecting its disparate elements starts to feel dashed-off, as if somebody involved couldn't wait for it to occupy the 10pm slot on London Live that may be its destiny. Go to Full Review Jeanne Kaplan Kaplan vs. Kaplan 01/23/2020
It's a better than decent thriller that you can catch on your telly. Go to Full Review David Kaplan Kaplan vs. Kaplan 01/23/2020
A well-written, well-acted and hard-hitting piece of material accompanied by an excellent musical score. And it features Timothy Spall and Hugh Bonneville in key roles as some of the villains indicated in the movie's title. Go to Full Review Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files 01/22/2020
5/10
Wastes its cast and intriguing potential with a cliche by the numbers gangster film that lacks energy or engaging suspense. Go to Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com 01/21/2020
2.5/5
Ably performed by a cast of some formidably notable talent joined by contemporary stars, there's nothing essentially wrong with Scalpello's latest... And yet, there's nothing to make this remarkably compelling or eventually memorable. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

andrea c @Charst 01/14/2022 Nonostante l'innato talento con cui Sam Claflin si sta facendo spazio con ruoli da protagonista, sempre più eclettico e versatile; questo poliziesco con tinte politiche, non riesce nell'intento di sorprendere e soprattutto di tenere sulle spine. Il titolo infatti si accoppia perfettamente con una trama in cui l'unica certezza è che il 99% dei personaggi che passano sullo schermo sono corrotti e dalla parte del cattivo. Se all'inizio il fatto può sorprendere, si finisce per abituarsi fin troppo in fretta e per aspettarsi che tutto vada storto sempre per lo stesso motivo. See more 04/30/2021 Christ on a bike - not an original thought in this entire movie. Well worn pedestrian cliches jostle for position in an uninspiring litany of crimes against dialogue. I simply do not believe that a significant number of better or at least more original scripts and ideas cross producers desks every week so the only point of interest here is how this one was commissioned. What a waste or resources. See more andy p @RT92836149 08/21/2020 Kill em all... who cares? See more 07/28/2020 Great acting. We're not looking for a unique crime drama experience here.. they give us what we want. Great job. Villain is Awsome!!! See more 05/20/2020 This was the grittiest crime movie I have seen lately. Action, good back story about the late father's "suicide " and the Olympics add a nice back drop. Cullen was despicable, Liam was believable. You only get Spielberg and Scorsese, if it is them. This was a great movie and I recommend it highly. See more 02/29/2020 Great throughout, a story with a strong ring of truth about morality, corruption and greed from top to bottom of British society. Well written acted, directed, photographed and scored. Timothy Spall is especially notable. Fine Noir style. See more Read all reviews
