Ray Winstone

Reviews Featuring Ray Winstone

A disappointing thriller that tries to hard too be atmospheric in the hope of covering up a largely hole-filled and one-dimensional plot.

Cold Mountain

A classically crafted Civil War epic with actions and ideas aplenty - but not enough to fill its excessive length.

King Arthur

Arthur demythologised and remythologised, but still in need of a little screenwriting magic.

Beowulf

This was never going to be a classic but it's got a timeless story, great animation and is a fun watch to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Edge of Darkness

Mel Gibson is back with this middle-of-the-road conspiracy thriller that's spoiled by hammy dialogue, Ray Winstone and a tedious storyline.

London Boulevard

Having a better cast than usual doesn't stop this effort descending into stereotypical cockney gangster rubbish. Stay away from this, you c--t.

The Departed

For once it's a remake of an excellent international offering that seems worth it thanks to Scorsese doing what he does best and a wonderful ensemble cast.

Sexy Beast

A workmanlike heist movie that's given cult status by a terrifically terrifying performance by Ben Kingsley and a role that Ray WInstone was born to play.

Hugo

Hugo looks exquisite and the plot is as mature and engaging as you'd expect from a Scorcese film but sometimes the cinematography is a little clichéd in its use. Good for kids, great for adults who love film.

The Sweeney

More Hot Fuzz than credible cop thriller, The Sweeney is a long list of missed opportunities. If you desperately want to watch cops behaving badly, tune into the classic TV show on UK Gold instead.
