Only the Brits Could or Would Write the Most Profane and Gut-Wrenching Scum-Talk and Deliver it like Shakespeare. Of Course You would Need a Good Actor to Try and so here We get Jude Law.
His Performance in this Film is so Over the Top, so Intensely Insane, so Loud and Obnoxious that it is Impossible to Ignore and Dominates the Picture so Profoundly that there is Hardly Anything or Anyone who Registers on the Periphery.
There is Richard Grant as Dom's Sidekick and He Barely Balances the Movie with His Geeky Demeanor and Thoughtful Friendship to this Bull in a China Shop. The Film is Raunchy, Lewd, and Disgusting at Times with Dialog Flourishes Cribbed from Public Toilet Walls and Pornographic Novels.
It May be a Rough Ride for some and Rightfully so, because this is Never Meant to be Anything but Shocking in a Dirty Joke Kind of Way. The Energy from Jude Law Carries the Film and it is Amazing that at Times He Manages to Try and Tear Up the Audience with an Abrupt About Face to His more Tender Side. By Damn He Succeeds.
Overall, this is Not for All Tastes and is Almost Always a Tasteless Tale Peppered with just Enough Pathos and Interest to Make it a Film that has Redeeming Qualities while Making a Movie with Arguably No Redeeming Qualities. It is a Dichotomy that is Difficult to Pull Off.
