Watch Dom Hemingway For Free

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Very disappointing...

Expected more

Best movie ever!

An ex-con who serves his time goes after his heist money upon his release from jail. After some rambling and a series disconnected events, which are supposed to be funny but can't break a smile, the presumably dark comedy turns into a drama centered around a neglecting father and an unforgiving daughter. The plot is spotty, uninteresting, unengaging and doesn't make much sense anyway. Jude Law stands out as a miscast for the "dumb and dumber" character he acts. This could be why his acting looks so theatrical. His buddy's acting on the other hand is as animated as a piece of wood. They are both unlovable characters with whom you can't sympathize and turn the movie into a borefest.

Opening scene: Jude Law gets a blowjob in prison and while he is at it, he is praising his c*ck. Praising it in a way a painting or another work of art should get praised. Very coarse and obnoxious, but in a hilarious way. That is to say if you are into blunt drunk violent behaviour. It is all done to correctly portray the working class violent gangster Jude Law. The story: Jude Law, playing an obnoxious,violent gangster who has just been released out of jail after a 12 year prisonterm. Jude Law kept his mouth shut during his 12 years prison term to protect a crime boss. Now he is a free man again and comes to collect a reward for his 12 years of silence. Things go terribly awry however once he is about to collect his reward at the villa of the crimeboss. How bad things turn out to go wrong, THAT is what this ludicrous, terrific story is all about.One of his best roles ever. Surprising role, because Jude Law has always portrayed the more sophisticated characters in the past. His obnoxious, rude character in "Dom Hemingway" is hilarious though. Further on in the movie the gentler side of this rude gangster is revealed in a very charming and endearing way. What makes this movie go beyond just another gangster portrait is the fact that Jude Law tries to reconnect with his estranged daughter. Will he succeed in winning her trust back again after 12 years in prison? Or will he keep on going down the drain in endless bar fights and failed heists?Not suited for the faint of hearted who might easily get offended by swear words. The movie must have broken an absolute record in swearing. I loved it. The director/writer truly made an art in writing the most eloquent, stinging cussing dialogues.Endnote: Lots of good punkrock bands are present in the soundtrack. Terrific music. Exactly suited to be the backdrop of this working class gangster from the eighties. Loved it.

Just when you thought Lock Stock fever passed in the night, it returns to camp for ninety more diabolical minutes. Jude Law plays a former prisoner and larger-than-life safecracker who is profane, crude, mawkish and dangerous. It's a black comedy about an ex-con making sense of his past in order that he may move on. Jude Law may have enjoyed himself but his chewing up of the scenery, ranting and raving is done to such redundancy that viewers will surely be nonplussed if not repulsed. Grant's tinted spectacles is about as impressive as he gets.

Dom Hemingway (2013)Yeah, as many reviewers say, this is a mixed bag. Jude Law is excellent, but he plays such a repellant character you don't really care how good he is. Or care about his fate. The movie around him is well built, well made. The plot around him is thin, however, really boiling around him trying to get some money back from old cronies after getting out of jail.So heads are bashed and one flamboyant escapade after another pulls us along, with no real "development" of either the plot or the character. You can't say it gets exactly boring because it's all so outrageous, but it isn't satisfying, either.So director Richard Shepard deserves credit for being brash and out there. And writer Richard Shepard (same guy) deserves some criticism for not taking this bold scenario anywhere actually interesting. Or moving. Or, blimey, original. It's odd to notice that a movie this original lacks basic originality. For a fast and unfair comparison, look at "Pulp Fiction" for a similar outrageous romp with cons and ex-cons. That one was original, whatever you think of it. This one lacks all those loops and hoops, the formal and narrative surprises that you actually do need.See it? Maybe not. Law is truly excellent and in some ways it's worth seeing him for his acting, if you can appreciate that separate from the rest of it. He's so different than his usual sweet pretty boy self, it's a minor jolt. And there are some fun, campy aspects to it all that keep it perky and odd, or at least peculiar, which is worth something. That it doesn't matter, or gel, might not matter if you just like the style.
