The Big I Am (2010)
3/10
Trying To Hard - Poor Plot/Direction and Acting.
28 September 2010
Warning: Spoilers
I have seen many UK gangster films and many from the states etc and have to say it seems that the film makers have too. I found this film to be very poor. The story was predictable, the characters had no depth and the whole thing felt like it had not been thought out. The main character could not carry this film and his story was so weak that the audience could not sympathize with him.

This reminded me of a poor man's Layer Cake (minus the acting skills of David Craig) and I would go as far as to say that a Danny Dyer film would look Oscar worthy in comparison.

It was a shame as the main actor has played a few decent side characters in other Brit films but films such as this and his performance in Goal 3 should lead him to ask if his agents are doing the right thing for him. Work is work in the world of actors but I would rather be stacking shelves than making this rubbish.

Avoid at all costs.
