Review of 44 Inch Chest (2009) by Lora N — 10 Jul 2010
It was written by the pair who penned the excdellent Sexy Beast. It even brings back SB stars Ray Winstone & Ian McShane. It also starrs John Hurt & Tom Wilkinson. Unfortunately for me the whole thing felt like I was watching a stage production & not a movie.
There is nothing sexy about watching cuckold Winstone crying over his predicament and a beastly revelation near the end of the film was not enough to save it for me. I do think that this film uses the C-word more times than both Al Pacino uses the F-word in Scarface & Samuel Jackson uses the N-word in Tarantino's movies combined.
Then this is a British film about British gangsters.
