Jason statham is not Shakespeare or to be taken seriously - this is just a good old fashioned fantasy action adventure film - yes it's weak but it's entertaining and predictable but good fun. And a bit different to his London underworld crime dramas - the battles are good and yes the Krug creatures are a bit odd but overall it's a family film too . Little bit of love and magic. I dont know why people expect so much - it's basically a made for TV movie and if you dont expect too much then you wont be disappointed. Just ignore the bad reviews and negativity and enjoy it for what it is ! Entertainment.

Better

not bad but really only needed 4 episodes

#better @bbciplayer #drama #tense #betrayal #police #crime #crimelord #thriller #mystery - 5 episodes of about 1 hour each - we binge watched this - it's about apolice detective who has been best friends with a crime lord for over 20 years and has a moral awakening after an accident to her son and has to decide where she wants to go on - trusted police detective or corrupt detective paid by a ruthless crime lord ! The first episode was a bit over the place but we stuck with it - pleased that we did - the acting wasn't Shakespeare and finely polished but then it's a tv drama series so you sort of accept it - good story and surprised at the ending ! The guy that is the mani male character had a good Irish accent and did trellis it was the one who played in #broadchurch - you will hate the crime family though and it disgusts me that there are families like this who think and sometimes are above the law ! @leila_farzad_official @_andrew_buchan_ @secook90 @sir_hairahcaz @olivianakintu @celspellman @carolinstoltz @anthonylewis._

worth a watch if you like historical crime

#thegold #thegoldtvseries @bbciplayer - 6 episodes about 1 hr each - binge watched this too - I thought it was the lead up to the robbery but it's after and how the police go about trying to catch the robbers - based on facts about the Brink'sMat robbery in 1983 - well acted and worth watching if you're interested in this - I remember the robbery but couldn't remember anything about it so I found it interesting to watch and of course I didn't know the outcome ! It shows the arrogance of the nouveau riche criminals and frustration with the still prevalent class system which they just can't quite be accepted into - also shows the links with them and the Masons and how corrupt it all is especially when top police are involved - hand shakes and favours to look after each other - apparently a lot of policing methods were changed after this event and you now have to reveal if you are a mason in the police - give it a go ! £26 million was robbed which in today's money is approx £101 million !! @bonhughbon @jack.lowden @emunelliott_ @charlottelouisespencer @stefaniemartini @sean.gilder @dominiccooper #crime #drama #robbery #police #themasons.

Bored and needed subtitles ... wish I hadn't bothered

Despite the hype and advertising of this drama I was Disappointed with this and not sure how much is true but I can't stand stephen Graham as an actor .. he always seems to play the same type of villainous thuggish type and it seems like he isn't even acting ....the accents were strong so I couldn't understand much ...5 episode and it was on it hub so there were loads of crappy adverts too that this could have been condensed into a 1 and hour tv documentary...waste of time ......my point of view.....yes it was a horrible story and the homophobia and racism still continues and it always will sadly ..........

great fun film

This was a charming find and really enjoyed it .. dont be mislead by the review translation (me bones negra) it means "you make me angry" - not - "you make me negra " I wish people would think and stop before they post things like that.

Forget all the negative reviews ! It is a film ! Films are about escapism and forgetting our normal everyday lives and we all enjoyed this ... the action and adventure and storyline were all great ....teklling us how the Kingsman came about and why ....we loved the twists and yes it's sad as well as funny ....grab some ice cream and a drink , sit down and relax and just enjoy it for what it is ..... it's a film !!!!!!

make your own mind up and dont read the reviews
30 January 2021
I watched this without looking at the reviews because otherwise I wouldn't have seen it..it was an good film and I enjoyed it yes the lead actor has great abs ..I wasn't sure how I'd feel about watching something so close to the present but it was fine..it's not the RADA parking and it's not Shakespeare but it was an enjoyable sci-fi thriller

Don't bother ....

2 hours of my life annoyed and cross and wasted and can't get back....if you want a good horror movie...go and look for one ! This annoyed me from about 20 minutes on when the people started to arrive at the house and nothing seemed logical or right and then it got worse...I want to enjoy a film and not have to try and work it out or analyse it.
