1) CineVue - Overall this is a remarkable debut from Elba, and it makes for an engaging, captivating watch. (Rating: 80) Read Full Review >
2) Empire - Neither a luridly enjoyable piece of Scarface-style pulp or a nuanced genre subversion, Idris Elba’s directorial debut is a fitfully entertaining 1980s gangster thriller. (Rating: 60) Read Full Review >
Worst two reviews:
2) The Guardian - A debut of unarguable promise, though – plenty to build on if Elba can resist the adolescent lure of running round with 007’s PPK. (Rating: 60) Read Full Review >
3) The Observer (UK) - An over-explanatory voiceover seems to indicate a lack of confidence in the script’s jumbled plotting and laggy pacing. The performances aren’t bad (Ameen’s charisma eclipses the expositional dialogue), but the stakes feel low and the characters gangster-movie generic. (Rating: 40) Read Full Review >
