Not happy = (,
By chelios1981 (Glos, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dead Man Running [DVD] [2009] (DVD)
Having missed this at the flicks, and having been waiting to see it, it's proved a real disapointment. Having liked both lead actors (Danny and Tamer) former work (the business for example is, well, the business). I really was expecting a good film here, the story set up, actors and of course the trailer promised so much.
Sadly this is more like dead man walking, in that it's actually quite a slow in pace, even for such a short (less than 90 minutes) film, and as for all the dvd sleeve quotes of action, well there is very little. There is the occasional witty, lock stock style banter from the leads, but the film comes across as a mix of thriller comedy, that doe'snt quite fit the bill in either catogory. Dead man jumps from scene to scene, in which Danny and Tamer come up with ideas to make a quick score (to pay back Mr 50 cent, of whom they owe megabucks). These mostly include fighting, drug dealing and out right stealing. The real frustration of the film is that the elements are there, a strong cast, nice simple plot, gritty British locations,and the occasional quote happy script, but all to no avail. In the hands of fast, style heavy directors like Guy Richie or Nick Love this could have been a real sparkling comedy/thriller, but unfortuanatly it's a pedestrian movie that trys too hard to be familiar and much too hard to please, lacking any original style or sense of pace and that little bit of zest that makes other Brit films classics.

Disapointing,
By _andy (South Somerset, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dead Man Running [DVD] [2009] (DVD)
I have previously been a big fan of Danny Dyer and loved "The Business" with him and Tamar Hassan. I was expecting this to be a hard grafting gangster film of "The Crew" variety but was sadly disappointed. I thought the storyline was quite poor, and with little in the way of decent lines was disapointed with Danny and Tamar's performances. The plot sees Thigo played by 50c flying over to the UK to demand the 100k that he lent Hassan's character Nick who has just 24 hours to get the cash else him and his mother played by Brenda Blethyn who is being held hostage will find themselves in "shallow graves". So accompanied by his best mate Bing played by Dyer the two set off round the country to get the cash, thwarted on several occasions as Thigo as his operatives, steal and con the money the two are making. There are a couple twists in the film but nothing to write home about and the ending is pretty weak.
Overall, very disapointed, I think the days of Tamar and Danny as two gangster lads are over and they should move onto better things...
5.0 out of 5 stars

This is a good film ignore all the other bad reviews it is not Danny dyers typical film its more of a good story line, than flat out gangster film it also has a good ending to the film so that makes the film awesome in my eyes. it also has action through out and has no boring bits at all.
