Dead Man Running Reviews

Aug 3, 2018

The best film from 2009, what a throwback!! Throughout the film you can clearly see how the directors worked very hard as a team with the writers and the rest to make this easy for the cast to act as most of them where very new to the role. It was put together so well and my only regret is that i never got to see how it was created and molded into the end result !! For a $1 million budget this film was 99.9% perfect. I am sure that a lot of people will disagree with what i am saying but i am sure that i could twist your arm in an argument !

Not bad for a film with Danny Dyer in it. Most of his films are crap!

Fun British bromantic comedy about two friends in a race against time.

Danny Dyer in British Gangster films has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. His role in this one is no exception. Tamer Hassan is always enjoyable albeit maybe not his best performance ever. Whilst the storyline is predictable (which gangster film isn't?), I have to say that this was a decent movie all-in-all. As much as I love 50 Cent as a rapper, the verdict is still out on him as a movie actor. Although admittedly him cast as a drug kingpin is probably a role he would feel more comfortable with than most. Don't expect the world and you might be pleasantly surprised with this one.

I normally give Danny Dyer flicks a swerve and was expecting this to be his usual wank but its actually decent. Has a great soundtrack, in particular De Rakoff use of The Stone Roses - Fools Gold. A serious twitch from Monet Mazur and the production team must have had plenty of dirt on Brenda Blethyn to get an actress of her calibre involved. Overall a nicely paced action flick and Hassan is a likely character in the lead. However, one has to question how 50 Cent a mere American loan shark came about controlling all the crime in the London underworld.

Hassan and Dyer team up again from an old favorite, The Business. A few lose ends but I enjoyed this flick. 50cent was only 25 in this one.

Better than the critics said, but very much a Ritchie rip-off. The performances were fine, not poor. Excellent cinematography. This much drug abuse is hard to watch. Would have been better without 50 Cent.

British thriller revolving around Nick, an ex-con that owes money to Thigo, a dangerous loan shark. He is given 24 hours to pay back the sum of £100.000, failure to comply would mean death for him and for his mum. The movie follows the endeavours of Nick and his friend and partner Bing desperately trying to raise the money in the streets of London and Manchester, but it also tell us of Nick's mum and her captor Johnny. The whole story is made with and underlying black humour, the funnier lines are delivered by Brenda Blethyn playing Nick's mother. It is not only a thriller it is also a caper about the British underground world of thugs, drug users and hitmen populating the back streets and the clubs. It doesn't say anything new but it is entertaining and very dynamic, with action constantly filling the screen, shame that the twist was half expected and the plot a little too unlikely.

A cut above. Having lived most of my life on the other side, I can tell you this movie is as real as it gets.

Skön rulle, händer mycket hela tiden, enda negativa är då 50cents skådespelar talnger eller kanske snarare brist på. Annars bra skit helt klart!!!
