Watch Dead Man Running For Free

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Best movie ever!

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

DEAD MAN RUNNING is a typical expletive-laden British gangster movie that trades on past glories. All of the actors involved play characters who are mere riffs on their former glories and the plot, about a hostage situation and the attempt to make a great deal of money in a very short time in order to pay off a gambling debt, are very predictable.The consistently uninspiring Tamer Hassan is the main character who is driven to the edge when his mother, Brenda Blethyn, is held hostage by a shotgun-wielding psychopath. Said psycho is played by Phil Davis, enjoyably riffing on his crazy turn in FACE, and he's the best thing in the movie. For her part, Blethyn feels miscast and hard to take seriously, although she's better than the one-note Hassan.The rest of the film wallows in clichés and low rent situations, although it's not quite the worst I've seen of this genre; at least some of the comedy is funny in places. Danny Dyer has the typecast role of Hassan's buddy and is one again the naughty-but-nice tearaway. Alan Ford and Omid Djalili have cameos, the former welcome, the latter not so much. Worst of the group is rapper 50 Cent in a 'take the money and run' type turn as the crime boss.

A loan shark gives ex-con Nick a period of 24 hours in order to pay back the money he owes. Up against it, Nick involves his best mate on a multi-part mission in order to raise the cash before it's too late for them both....If you go to see a film featuring Tammer Hassan and Danny Dyer and Produced by two premiership footballers and expect it to be a work of art, you are not living in the real world.The plot is simple, Nick has to pay 100 grand back in a day, or him and his mother will be killed, what Nick doesn't know is that he has no chance to pay the money back as he has been bugged and 50 cent wants to make an exception of him.So he grabs Dyer and they go on a beano to make the money in any way possible, and the outcome is throwaway silly crap that works in a way that only a film featuring the two leads could.These guys have a lot of chemistry together, and anybody who happens to like movies by nick love will know this, they throw off lines as if they are best mates, and they really work well together when ever they are both on screen,Hassan for once has a good role, he isn't a gangster or a heavy, though the story implies that he was once both of these. Dyer is Dyer and plays the same tole he does in all of his films, but he does this best, so why change anything?The scenarios are quite funny, and it gets sillier the more money the pair make, but you know that everyone will be okay come the end, so it's a case of just sitting back and enjoying it.Some of the casting is a bit strange, Jackson cannot act, it was evident in Righteous Kill and Get rich or die trying', and the presence of Davies, Blethyn and Walters is just wasted.But this is Hassans and Dyers movie and they make it work well.Don't take it seriously and enjoy it for what it is, a movie for a wet Friday night with lots of mates and beer.

I watched this film last night, it was 1 of the best films i have watched in a long time, if you like the British gangster type films then this is the film for you, very funny and entertaining all way through, nothing dragged or was boring at all.Dyer and Hassan make a great team in this film, I only watched it for the fact Dyer was in it, Did not expect it to be as good as it was. I don't see why the other reviews are so low ratings.Brilliant!!!A Must Watch For 2010 DVD!Thanks For Reading.

LOVED this little movie that I caught opening weekend in London. It's surprisingly funny and entertaining. Tamar Hassan is sure to be a big star- he's like a bigger and more handsome Antonio Banderas. Could see this being a breakout role for him like Sexy Beast was for Ray Winston. He's tough but sexy and charming. and Brenda Blethyn is genius. I'm still laughing at some of her lines. The people in my theatre were cheering after her last scene (when you see it you'll know what I'm talking about). Don't miss this little gem. Good pure entertainment.Great soundtrack also.
