Geoff Deane and Tim Firth's screenplay is quite predictable, but good. The film is most enjoyable. Chiwetel Ejiofor and Joel Edgerton are both terrific, the latter coming over to me like a young Albert Finney. Sarah-Jane Potts is cute (I guess we recognise her from Sugar Rush), Nick Frost reliable. It's a great cast overall, actually, with Jemima Rooper, Linda Bassett, Robert Pugh, Joanna Scanlan.
Colourfully shot by Eigil Bryld in Panavision and edited in a hurry by Emma Hickox, who doesn't like to hang about. (Loved her Milan scene cut to the beat of the music.) It was her first collaboration with the director.
