He probably meant Crank.

I don't know....'brilliant in' and 'Crank'...not sure they go together (not really an acting role was it in Crank?).

Oi....Phil....tell us pwease

I rated Crank though and I think Statham actually nailed down exactly what he needed to do. I've got time for Statham actually, he's likeable enough and he looks convincing when he's pummelling someone's head in. I think I read that he learned a lot from Jet Li when they worked together. Not a bad teacher to have with regards to looking authentic at twatting people.

^ He's done some shite though! Revolver was awful and The Transporter, don't even get me started....

revolver had potential though, not sure how they fucked it up to be honest

Robin Friday · 28th April 2008, 13:55

They fuckied it up because Guy Ritchie is a one trick pony.

Yes I meant 'Snatch'

I didn't mind The Transporter. 50% of that may have just been Qi Shu though.

I saw the film The Queen, last night...about the relationship between the Queen of England and Tony Blair, and the surrounding events of Princess Diana's death. I nodded off a few times during the film, as I was rather full and watched after dinner, so I didn't catch all of the storyline.

Any thoughts from the Brits on this film? It seems it was created on a rather low budget and didn't really seem to show the kind of living quarters Tony Blair lived in, for example. His place was actually rather shabby and small in the film.

LeedsLeedsLeeds · 28th April 2008, 22:01

I didn't get very far with this one either, a bit boring really. Perhaps it was the subject matter rather than the filum itself that put me off.

Piece Train · 29th April 2008, 01:38

^ It was a bit anticlimactic. However, I lost the jist of the final conversation between Blair and the Queen right before the credits rolled because I had nodded in and out of sleep.

Seems they were discussing the advantages and disadvantages of getting rid of the whole royal family thing in England altogether.
