With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at anyone who likes their action precise and people who enjoy a knot in their stomach. Lean and efficient, like its main character. Very British, in all the best ways.
- The mood
- Light and funny, tense.
- The pace
- Lean, with little time wasted, at 1 hr 34 min.
- What might put you off
- Rated R: meant for adults.
- Not ideal if you just want to unwind.
Gary Oldman is Lynch, a strangely charming hit man in this explosively funny dark comedy in the tradition of Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. With an all-star cast including Terence Stamp, Elena Anaya, Robert Carlyle and Billy Zane, Dead Fish is a chaotic tale of criminals looking for love, money and revenge that will have you falling out of your chair laughing!
