The end's a bit predictable, but overall this is one interchangeably bright, and chaotic movie of the working man.
Starring Jim Broadbent as that working man - and leading man - who you'll probably recognize from a great many other British films.
Also notably Helen Mirren - whom I do know but didn't recognize at all here! Great actress.
The sceneries are reminiscent of the time the movie's from. Of the Sixties, I suppose - I would've thought it was further back, in which Kempton Bunton, a 60 year old taxi driver, steals Goya's portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London.
True story.
Which makes it all the cooler.
But it still is a little mediocre...
Good watch, though. Creative transitions. A charming cast. Overall: it's a good one.
rated 3.5/5: not bad at all
