What did I expect? Not quite this! What a gem. I hadn't even heard of this movie until I stumbled across it by accident.Jude Law, one of my favourite actors of all time, playing a role I would never have imagined. This raw, superbly scripted, impeccably acted, thoroughly entertaining little masterpiece takes you through a whole list of human emotions, human failings, human shortcomings and gloriously crafted clichés that never once feel like a cliché! Just brilliant. Top drawer script that would never have succeeded with actors of a lesser quality.One of those movies that you could watch again as soon as it's over. Funny, scandalous, wild and wicked, yet quietly sincere, if that's at all possible to say about a criminal who has just about made ever blunder, faux pas and idiotic move in the book.Pure entertainment. It's been a long time since I enjoyed a movie this much.

Dom Hemingway is a movie with a lot of dark humor and a main character who has no fear to say what comes into his mind. Some hilarious scenes do happen, but the overall is a movie which the story isn't well developed. The best of the movie is Jude Law being Dom Hemingway. His performance, one of the best of his career, is what outshines everything. The character is a very rude guy, he's disrespectful and almost every time he speaks we feel the character's rage and due to this rage, a lot of curses, insults comes out of his mouth. Jude Law's performance made the character more believable, because he successfully created a character that from how he was communicating, both verbally and physically, we could notice what was his emotions.The friendship between Dom Hemingway and Dickie Black (Richard E. Grant) is odd, because of the swearing they say to each other, but even with the curses, we notice a real companionship among these two persons. In the beginning, I had fun watching Dom's behavior but the as the film progressed the insults weren't as funny as in the beginning. The tone changes during the film, and it's not done correctly. It seems like in a part of the movie there's a furious, fearless and rude Dom Hemingway and the other part has a sad, seeking forgiveness and regretted guy. If done properly, it would make the film much more interesting and might create a character who would be more remarkable and significant.

story of a too honest thief. not convincing, not seductive. maybe nice. an easy work far to use a high level of ambition. a comedy who could be only mixture of different pieces for a show about nothing. old scenes, Jude Law in a sketch of role, no direction, moral lessons, chaotic, strange and childish.the end as a knife cut. that is all. and the only error is the absence of purpose. nothing credible, nothing interesting, only few characters and crazy situations, mixture of flavors and a lot of clichés. the story of the poor thief is not a bad idea but, in this case, the tools for create it are not the best. but, that could be only a detail. or, only a kind of uninspired parable.

Dom Hemingway, a safe-cracker just released from prison sets out to get his reward for keeping silent and rekindle a relationship with his daughter.Richard Shepard writes and directs this Guy Ritchie, Matthew Vaughn- esque styled quirky gangster flick. Packed with colourful language, Shepard goes out of his way to try and break a record in using the 'C' word. Sporting a double-breast suit muttonchops and bridgework Jude Law has a blast playing against recent typecast as the alcoholic loud mouth, hard man Dom Hemingway. Law offers some vulnerable touching moments at grave of his wife Katherine, when he visits his daughter Evelyn (Emilia Clarke) and scenes involving his grandson. Richard E. Grant plays his one handed best friend Dickie, Grant gives a subtle great performance as a cross between the dearly departed David Niven and the late Mike Reid's Frank Butcher. There's great chemistry between Law and Grant. Beauty Mădălina Diana Ghenea is notable as Paolina, Fontaine's Romanian girlfriend.It's violent and humorous in places with some genius touches and great lines littered throughout. What it lacks in depth and structure it makes up for in pace as you follow abrasive Dom's plight with money, anger and relationships. It benefits from a good score and bona fide St Tropez and London locations. Overall, worth watching for Law's loose fuse, profane, dangerous Hemingway and Grant's performances alone.
