5.0 out of 5 stars Luke Goss has come a long way !, 30 July 2005
By Rob (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Charlie [DVD] [2004] (DVD)
Luke has definately come along way in regards to his acting career, what with the Blade II film & of course Charlie.

The film portrays a really good story & I heard that Luke even went to visit Charlie personally while filming the film, their was many intense moments that even the producer put Luke through to gain the anger in his eyes for like a 2 second shot & it shows well in the film.

The whole acting in the film is really good on all behalfs & tells the story of Chralie Richardson in a fantastic light.

It also has quite a lot of comedy within the film aswell, but obviously a lot of swearing (which wouldnt be right anyway if their wasnt as it's a true to life film).

The film is really great & probably one of my fave all time films (along with The New Guy & the Rush Hour movies), it's much better than the Krays film, so if you enjoyed that & like Gangster true to life type films, you will LOVE this Charlie rendition.

4.0 out of 5 stars A decent british gangster movie, 30 July 2005
By miss c a daniels (Edinburgh United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Charlie [DVD] [2004] (DVD)
Not knowing much about the Richardson gang as opposed the the infamous Krays, I found this film both interesting and confusing!

Charlie Richardson was a very intelligent man by all accounts and in this movie it seems to come down to whether or not you believe the accusations made against him and his gang. I'm still not sure myself as there are two sides to every story.

The movie is well acted, in particular the lead role played by Luke Goss is both likeable and charasmatic although there is a side to Richardson that makes it difficult to feel sorry for him and the position he is in. The supporting cast are also very good and on the whole I enjoyed watching how the characters developed and played their part in the gang.

I would recommend this movie but would point out that no comparison should be made to The Krays as they are both very different films.
