Totally sold. Went into it with no strong feelings either way although I did enjoy chuckling at people who had commented that Elvis would hate it because he was a Christian, a Southern gentleman, nay an angel with wings sent from heaven who would never swear or be crude. They clearly can't be true fans if they've somehow missed the side of him with the raunchy jokes and his cussing like a sailor. However I loved it. About to watch it for the third time. I like the little references to his real life knitted through the dialogue and the fact that they can use his own songs. I like the references to iconic people of that time - even though I have to look most of them up, it's been a learning experience. Matthew McConaughey does a great Elvis without trying to actually do Elvis and Priscilla and all the cast are really good. It's great to see Scatter the monkey included and I guess the Mafia have been downsized and represented by the one character Bobby Ray. Defo not for kids. Bring on series 2!

I was waiting for the twist lol... Thank God for (watch me mispell it) Shyamalan in this world of film by numbers and agenda'd political clap trap. He still delivers a film you'd put your sandwich down to watch. Like one of the other reviewers I knew nothing about this film before watching so came to it open minded and devoid of reviews. Like I said I am familiar and have enjoyed his previous films so was waiting for the twist and as this is a review will avoid saying whether there was one or not. Defo worth your few hours. I also think it's funny that he always sticks himself in the film somewhere.

Never especially liked the DC films. Preferred Marvel until that went to pot. Too dark, too noisy, too much sfx and little meat on the storyline. But this one had me loling in a few places. Sure my mind wandered through the formulaic sfx fights but I really enjoyed it. Senior Pierce Brosnan is so much cooler than younger PB and the James Bond era. Loved him in another film as a sperm doctor and his nonchalance to the young 'ins fighting in this film gave me a few chuckles. Reddit going on about the kid in this film? I have no idea what film they were watching. The kid was fine. All the actors pulled their weight although if I see Marwan Kensari wanting to take over the world in one more heavily sfx'd film I may have to have some words. Rock held his own. I did not see The Rock, I saw the character. Unfortunately any sequels are at the mercy of industry politics and incoming new heads only wanting to see THEIR projects succeed regardless of whether the audience want to see more it seems - because of course it is always about them, right up until they lose their jobs for not bringing in the cash. Whatever. See it. It's a few hours of brainless fun and frolics.

Sally Phillips ever the eternal bridesmaid in '4 Weddings' type movies hoists this film on her shoulders and is a great deal of why it works. But all the other actors certainly do their bit. It is a great ensemble cast. It's a movie about a woman who gets let go from her job and happens upon a way to keep earning by eliciting the help of inexperienced topless sex worker male cleaners. It shouldn't work. It should be annoying but it's great fun and really should end up as beloved a classic like 'The Full Monty.' Ms Phillips has a number of terribly cute quirks too that I'm sure she is not aware of and a surprisingly well appreciated derriere.

An exquisite, different film. Slow, meandering and visual. It keeps you hooked to see why Tim Roth is behaving so... oddly. It's minimal in dialogue with a sparse plot and will not hold your hand to explain every aspect of it with explosions, car chases (although there is a small car chase) and an obvious baddie to route against. In other words if you have a low attention span, immature taste and require everything to be explained, you require 2+2 to equal 4 in a way that real life hardly ever does, you lack appreciation or understanding of nuance and require an obvious goodie and a baddie to route for and against and everything to be tied up and resolved in a nice bow at the end it is probably not for you.

I like Vin Diesel but how does he get away with it? Then you see Samuel L Jackson and you settle into the sofa a little more confident of at least 2 hours of fun and excitement. But... no. The script was written by a four year old or I'm a potato. It was sort of fun at the beginning then it just gets way too ridiculous to stick with it even for a laugh. It's not even so wonderfully bad it becomes good. It's just silly. Question: Does it cost more to write a decent script that doesn't keep making you roll your eyes at the ham acting, dodgy Russian accents and romance cliches? If so I wish they would pay the extra £20 and put something out there that's not stupid.

Great to see copied pasted repeated reviews. Not suspicious at all.

Enjoying it so far. Acting is good, it is a bit dark and dank but survivable. The rent boy scene is one of the most exquisitely awkward scenes I've ever seen because the acting and direction is so good. No one dialed in their performance.

Clearly the production team behind this film didn't payola the film critics and the bots enough if at all. I enjoyed the film very much. It's a crime caper that has something different to offer. If you come to it expecting the usual run of the mill you probably won't enjoy it. Instead let it unfold and be it's crazy self. A good mix of characters that are not the same old same old and a storyline that kept taking unexpected paths made for an entertaining few hours. I only hope the sex worker's pooch was found and fed.

It is a movie a rich person's wife would make.
