Hard Men

[Sunshine on Leith]

"Hard men" never really made it and it's one of the greatest crimes in cinema as this movie made by Amalou (he only made 3 movies since now) is one of the rare pearls in today's British cinema. The violence of course refers to Tarantino, but so what?, hundreds of other movies did and it's absolutely funny. We follow the adventures of three maffiosi (their boss is the legendary Mad Frankie Fraser, played by himself) who earn "their" money. They do have their own techniques and as you can guess it's not exactly the most customer-friendly one. But once you're in the mob, there's no escape and one day one of the three becomes a father and want to become a family man he already wrote his testament. "Hard men" is a typical British movie.

I had never even heard of this film until I was flicking through Sky movies late lastnight. It's a Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels kinda movie lot's of dark and dry humour. In fact I wouldn't have been the least surprised if Guy Ritchie got his idea for Lock Stock and ....from "Hard Men".

It's worth a visit to your local dvd shop if you haven't seen it.

If you are into the London gangster type films i'm sure you will enjoy this.

only dialogue I remember is the wee guy moaning about the stripper's unwillingness to ' flash the gash' whatever that means....
