Review of Mr. Nice (2010) by Colm M — 03 Aug 2011
Very intresting drug-biopic. Shows well the other side of the law. Great performance of Rhys Ifans, although it seems the role inevitably comes to him. Slow pace, just not boring at times. Doesn't live up to Blow by a strech but it has the same structure and all the aspects.
In some ways more obscure, like all the nudity, the lsd trip etc. I liked the way they aproached the fact that he's such a hashish-expert. We can realy follow him evolving to that and beyond. The insane business behind all that is also nicely shown.
Rhys talks us through all of it from time to time, exclamating the peculiars, making it kinda funny sometimes. Thurow and respectable movie, although it laks some more action.
