Review of Dom Hemingway (2013) by Jason A — 04 Apr 2014

Review:

This movie starts of well and you do get to see Jude Law in a different light, but in all, it's just about a foul mouth geezer who seems to get away with everything. There wasn't much point to the film, although there is a moral to be learned, but it just dries up after a while. After all the outrageous situations run out of steam, the storyline gets a bit weak but you can't fault Jude Law on his great performance. When he is brought face to face with his only weakness, you do get to see another side to Dom, who is a proper crazy individual, but the movie could have been a whole lot better if he wasn't chatting so much pointless rubbish and the storyline actually went somewhere. Watchable!

Round-Up:

The chemistry between Dom and Dickie was great because they both have totally different personalities. You don't really get to see then at work, but the situations that they get into were great to watch them get out of. You can see that Jude Law put on weight for the role, which made the character more believable, but I couldn't take his silly one liners and his ridiculous conversations that don't go anywhere. After the shock value goes, the director ran out of steam, but it's worth a watch just to see how mad Dom is. The whole daughter storyline slowed down the movie and took away the mad side of Dom, which was what made the movie interesting, but you do end up sticking with the film just to see what Dom is going to do next.

Budget: N/A.

Worldwide Gross: $10,000 (Terrible!).

I recommend this movie to people who are into there about a guy who leaves prison and tries and get is life back together. 4/10.
