A thief is caught up in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse between a maverick cop and London crime boss.
A clumsy third act cut-and-paste from LA Confidential (dialogue almost intact) shows a man who not only thieves from his betters, but is unable to adequately cover his tracks.
Stylishly shot, but drained of power by flavourless writing.
Wants to be Heat, ends up closer to a high-gloss episode of The Bill.
All Things to All Men is the latest attempt to make a British Michael Mann-style crime epic based on a fundamental misunderstanding of what Michael Mann actually does as a filmmaker.
Oh lord, that was a genuinely complex and gripping London-set noir.
George Isaac's debut feature does one or two things quite well – actually two, both of them chases – but offers little else in the way of excitement.
Don’t be fooled by the top cast as the dialogue is awful and performances not much better. Woeful.
Only Sewell escapes the affair unscathed, his wired performance in the final act rewarding those who stick around that long.
It's a stylish and involving experience, with an intriguing touch of Mike Hodges. Isaac is a film-maker with a future.
