À propos de ce film

Jonathan Glazer, multi-award winning commercial and pop promo director, makes his feature film debut with a cutting edge, adult love story that is not afraid to show the scars of intimacy and raise personal stakes to a life threatening crescendo. Ex-villain Gal Dove (Ray Winstone) has served his time behind bars and is blissfully retired to a Spanish villa paradise with the wife he adores. The idyll is shattered by the arrival of his nemesis Don Logan (Ben Kingsley), who is intent on persuading Gal to return to London for one last big job. Desperate not to sacrifice his enchanted existence, Dove is drawn into a shocking and explosive battle of wills with Logan, and takes part in a sensational underwater heist, risking everything to protect the woman he loves.

Notes et avis

This is Ben Kingsley best movie and the one that should of won him an Oscar the writing is on mark and Kingsley performance ranks up there with one of the best show of acting I've ever seen he's so scary it's good

Ben Kingsley is a great actor, but his character in this movie is excessively manic and hyper. It's not funny, it's irritating.

Roundabout an A Great film, with top quality acting. Ben Kingsley makes that movie even greater while providing needed boost whenever he's even mentioned. This is also a testament to the actors, and director since the actual Film Script has a different take. The film turned out a masterpiece - somewhat unsung however.
