He is such a shit actor! Iāve literally never enjoyed him in anything, apart from maybe King Arthur.
He just plays himself in everything and he isnāt even believable.
Not to mention that goddamn accent. What is he?! America, Aussie, Brit?! Some terrible mix of all three.

Thatās probably one of his worst films. He was absolutely amazing in SoA - one of my favourite shows of all time. Not to mention heās a sexy bastard. Plus Pacific Rim - G Del Toro masterwork.
Youāre a bad person and Iāve decided I donāt like you anymore.

He is as absolutely brilliant in Green Street. Best cockney accent since Don Cheadle in Oceanās. Not quite as well honed as Dick van Duke though, but hard to reach those heights in fairneas

Just watched El Camino.
It looked and felt like an episode from Breaking Bad, which is one of the finest TV series ever, but not really worthy of being a stand alone feature film.
It also looks as if theyāve left it open for a sequel, which makes it look like a money making venture.
I also watched Wolf On Wall Street which I canāt believe Iāve not seen before.
Great directing by Scorsese and great acting from Di Caprio, neither of who make bad films.
Di Caprio is the De Niro of this era and Scorsese is the Scorsese of this era.

The Gentlemen
Just watched this tonight and I really, really enjoyed it. I actually enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would and was very pleasantly surprised by it.
What struck me the most was how engaging it was throughout and that the pacing was spot on. I didnāt think there were any boring lulls or scenes that you just wanted to end. Everything had a purpose and progressed the story in a fairly uptempo way and I really appreciated the way it worked with Hugh Grantās character walking the audience through the story so far, jumping between the past and the present. Even better was that it still manages to main the twists and turns in the plot until revealing them at exactly the right time.
I thoroughly enjoyed this piece as it was stylistically very typical Ritchie and the writing was great as always (although it did get quite erudite and verbose at times but thatās easily forgiven), with a lot of genuine laughs and witticisms, but at the same time Richie pulls on current pop culture to make his film just a bit more up-to-date. It wasnāt your standard ācockney geezer gangsterā flick like Snatch, it pulled on other sub-cultures/sub-culture gangster trends that make the film more relevant to younger generations. Iām sure a lot of people wonāt appreciate this, but I feel like he included and laughed at grime and ātop boyā gang culture in a way that wasnāt purely dissing it (while also making sure that the old boy cockney gangsters come out on top).
The acting was also a lot better than I had expected it to be. Hugh Grant and Colin Farrell absolutely stole the show for sure, their characters were the perfect mix of funny, campy and well-written while being just over-acted enough to make for some memorable roles. I also didnāt hate Charlie Hunnam in this for once. Actually, I thought he was pretty good in it and probably the other thing Iāve ever really liked him in apart from maybe King Arthur. Matthew McConnaughey was good too, as was Jeremy Strong, but I felt like Henry Golding let his role down a bit. I just donāt think heās a particularly convincing conniving hardman gangster - definitely more of a RomCom guy.
But yeah Colin Farrell was really ph-phucking good in this.
Also a great little shout out to Man From UNCLE and the fact that Guy Richie probably wants to do a sequel for it haha
Definite 8/10 for me!
Sorry couldnāt wait until Monday to post this haha
