Quote:
Saw the US remake (of Brit TV series), State Of Play, just a couple of days ago, and Mirren (cast as the newspaper editor) seemed to be there just for a pay-cheque... saying lines like "and f**k you very much" to Russell Crowe without being funny or even very scathing. Yes, Mirren was brilliant in Long Good Friday, but that seems to be her career-best performance, nowadays. Meryl Streep is probably (?) Hollywood's equivalent of Mirren, and while Streep just gets better with age, Mirren gets worse, IMHO... Admittedly, though, I haven't seen Mirren in her 'royalty' stuff. Anyway, moving neatly back on topic... I wonder if Mirren will be any good in this year's remake of Brighton Rock?

Mirren was excellent in Hussy and the brilliant The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover.

love gangster no 1. Watched it at the cinema with my gf who wasn't enamoured with the language and violence but I had to refuse to leave. Paul Bettany is chilling.

and if I can add a french movie/s - Messrine 1 & 2. Brilliant retro style with an amazing central performance from Vincent Cassel

Get Carter, closely followed by The Italian job.

Get Carter is endlessly rewatchable. Caine's performance is a powerhouse!

Performance is mine, followed by Get Carter. Villain, The Squeeze and the first Sweeney also get top marks. |

The first Sweeney film it is for me John Thaw and Dennis Waterman were the best cop-buddies ever! Love the series and the films.

Sweeney II seems to divide people. I thought it started well but then went downhill towards the end. The first Sweeney was non-stop entertainment, despite Barry Foster's curious American accent.
