MENACE

Today's film was Malcom Venville's

44 Inch Chest (2009)

This is an ensemble piece with Ray Winstone at the center. A vehicle.

John Hurt, Tom Wilkinson, Ian Macshane and others gather 'round to help their good friend punish the man who stole his wife's love.

This comes off like a play. Not a bad thing at all really.

The drama is so thick you can cut it with a knife. Very well done. Think David Mamet.

The finalé is quite good.

There are "dream" scenes.

I enjoyed it thoroughly although there is some strong language and violence. Menace.

I would see it again if it came by. That makes it a 4 out of Netflix5.
