I’ve read the book so it will be interesting to see if the film is as good as the book which was OK but not memorable. It is the story of Howard Marks (played by Rhys Ifans) a notorious Welsh drugs smuggler.
The film uses an interesting technique, the film starts off in the 60/70’s and they use genuine footage with the actors overlaid to great effect. It does however give a film a sort of amateur feel to it but in a good way.
Rhys Ifans plays the role well and adds to the whole slightly tongue in cheek attitude to the film.
