From a story by Ritchie, Ivan Atkinson and Marn Davies. Begins in a somewhat clunky and expository way (which is maybe what put off Everything Everywhere editor Paul Rogers - he told us early this year it was a recent film he was unable to complete) with sleazy journalist Hugh Grant (the crusader for privacy must have relished the role) relating events to tough guy Charlie Hunnam (Children of Men, Cold Mountain), involving cannabis king Matthew McConaughey, wife Michelle Dockery and investor Jeremy Strong (Succession). Mix in a Colin Farrell, Lyne Renee, Henry Golding (Crazy Rich Asians), Tom Wu and Chidi Ajufo, plus some young thugs ('the toddlers') played by rappers (unless someone was actually christened Bugzy Malone) and you have lots of plot. (And Samuel West, Geraldine Somerville, briefly.)
Loved Michelle Dockery's accent.
Quite inventively made, constructed and told (with Grant's character often relaying the action as a screenplay; imagined scenes).
Photographed by Alan Stewart, editors James Herbert and Paul Machliss.
