In the first minutes I saw where it goes and it means nowhere where I've never been before. All that mix of music and jump up through characters you have some projection as you are seeing a kind of Ritchie's failed work and in that mix of narrator and could say a smell of the ground you are in Boyle's preparing how should be, but still not possible to be done. Even, Ken Loach would see that someone is trying to copy him. Very weak plot can't improve a good acting, even if we have in its cast the names as Colm Meaney. The creator wanted to be realistic, but he created something a pretty much far away from it.

Enjoyable flick but if you've seen an episode of Brassic on Sky then you've seen it before. Filled with similar characters- the nice but educationally challenged types, rogues with a heart, with the usual generic nick names Curly, Budgie etc. Still worth a watch for free on Netflix though. Good to see Grimsby as the focal point for all the antics rather than London or Manchester, and you get the right feeling of how tough times are lin these small fishing towns. Acting was of a decent quality and they managed to give enough back story characterisation for a 90 odd minute film, so recommended none the less.

A massively lacklustre and stereotypical attempt to copy what's been done far better in the past. Assume only the cast have rated it so far given marks of 10 (I mean seriously, according to the user reviews it's more accomplished than Ben Hur). It's a lazy 4 at the very best. Script and delivery isn't slick enough for what it's trying to achieve and the lead characters overact and don't have the style or gravitas to pull off their roles. Got bored after about 20 minutes.

Wouldn't recommend unless you know Grimsby and perhaps enjoy recognising landmarks or can link to the history in some way. Or love ships / fish.
