Dead Man Down (2013) 6/10

Starring : Colin Farrell, Noomi Rapace, Terrence Howard, Dominic Cooper
Director : Niels Arden Oplev
Running Time : 118 mins

Career criminal Victor (Farrell) decides to take revenge against crime boos Alphonse (Howard) by infiltrating his gang, but his actions come to the attention of his disillusioned neighbour Beatrice (Rapace) who, upon discovering Victors plans, blackmails him into seeking out revenge against those that have wronged her.

This is a pretty standard crime movie that had nothing special to deliver. The execution was slow, and filled with the kind of language that is becoming increasingly annoying in British gangster flicks, and Farrell and Rapace themselves were just too ordinary in their delivery and performance. Personally I wouldn’t bother with this misleadingly titled attempt at making an intelligent crime caper.
