Unexpectedly interesting - Mr. Nice review by JD
A biography of a British dope peddler was not a film I felt sympathetic towards. The acting is, however, absolutely brilliant and the plot does not try to endear you to a man smuggling industrial quantities of marijuana. Rhys Ifans and David Thewlis are outstanding and deserve more distinction. Like most biographies there are ordinary bits between the moments of extremes but this keeps it real. Not for everyone but a great triumph of British film making.
