I watched 44 inch Chest with Ray Winstone, John Hurt, Ian McShane, Tom Wilkinson, Stephen Dillane and JoAnne Whalley. I thought that it was going to be another British gangster movie. The cast was good.

But this was an incredibly boring movie. Nothing happens. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Even at the very end when one gets hopeful that something might happen, nothing happens.

It might have worked better as a play. Since most of the movie takes place in one room it certainly felt very stagey.


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
