I seen death. I seen evil. I seen fire. I seen rain. I seen lonely days I thought would never end. You don'#39;t fucking scare me! I fuck you!
There was a better film in here than what was made. The first half was good but they didn'#39;t know how to close the film.
Jude Law was a joy to watch but the movie didn'#39;t have a whole lot going for it.

I had high expectation for this one. Turns out to be a disappointment. Dom Hemingway was a safe cracker and spent twelve years in prison. After being released he is looking for something that was promised to him in return for the favor of keeping his mouth shut for all of those years. Some things didn't worked well for me. The characters are not developed enough. At some point I couldn't understand if what I was seeing was supposed to be funny or not. There are some films where silly moments can be brilliant, I guess that was supposed to be the case but for me they didn't worked well. Another thing that bothered me was the relationship between Dom and his daughter. That side of his life that is supposed to be the emotional turn in the story, his attempt of redemption, is not well explored and not much time of the film is given to that case. Jude Law had an absolutely terrific performance! The way he talks, he walks, his physical transformation are great for what was required in this kind of role. He is definitely the best part of this film! I don't know why, when I was younger I used to think that Jude Law was just a pretty face and nothing more. But lately I look at him in a different way. I hope he continues with the great performances like this one. Dom Hemingway made me remember of Filth a lot. Both films are about two damaged guys in some way and the lead performances are amazing but the plots are not strong enough to support such strong characters. Although I think Dom Hemingway is able to be weaker than Filth. At the end Dom Hemingway has more style than substance. I didn't know exactly what rate I would give to it but I'll give it three stars and they are almost given in a whole to Jude Law's performance. I think this film is worth seeing just by his amazing performance alone.
After 12 years, **Dom Hemingway** (Jude Law) finally gets the Call. It is time for him to leave prison and collect what is owed him. 12 years in prison have really fueled this guy's hatred and there are plenty of things to take care of, like the man who stole his wife, the man who got him into jail and who owes him and lastly, the daughter who wants nothing to do with him. There is a lot to dislike about this guy, but for some reason, I don't. Dom is a loser, but he just doesn't know it. Dom has all the self-esteem that a man will ever need, and yet, his life is falling apart around him. Dom Hemingway is not an original movie, but thats ok, all movies doesn't have to be original to be worth watching. This movie, like Dom, has just the right amount of self-esteem, arrogance and cockiness, it believes that it is more than it is, and that makes all the difference. Jude Law delivers a great performance as Dom, especially the scenes where he rambles (like the opening scene), and the scenes where he tries to win back his daughter, is where Mr. Law earns his wages. I don't mind that he is a bit over the top, that is, as far as I am concerned, the strength of the movie. Dom Hemingway is a movie in the tradition of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and RockNRolla, only... better, if you ask me. It wants to tell us a story about a man, a man that we all know, a man that we can all relate to, it is not just here to entertain us, it is here to convince us that it has both heart and soul. _Last words... don't expect this movie to change your life, but watch it regardless, and take a moment to reflect over the things that are worth changing in your own life. It won't give you answers, but it might just give you the kick in the balls, that sends you in the right direction._

> An ex-con caught between in his old life and to adapt a new one. The film is worth watching only for Jude Law in the title role. All the other character were weak, only he was the bright shining spot in it. The story also should have been better. At least improvising Emilia Clarke's part as she was in a an important role would have had a good impact on the film. Of course, it's a black-comedy-drama in the crime theme, but utilise its full potential to go some extent like maybe some interesting crime plots. A few segments were quite absorbing like bet on to open the safe and France visit. There's no smooth storytelling, but the constant rise and fall of the main character was the reason for the lag in development and its pace. The overall point was very clear in portraying a struggling ex con and how he adapts to a new life or he desires to go back to his old life tells the remaining film. So some people might like or liked it, but I did not. Just below average film, but it's okay to watch once. 4/10
