'A man with no option had all the options in the world', 'I got a face like an abortion' , these are just two of the flaccid witticisms on offer in this outing. This film walks a fine line between utter garbage and tongue in cheek ironic observation. It's funny and I laughed a lot, but I was laughing at it, not with it. I do like Jude law so maybe I persevered with it for him. The story is old and tested and probably best left alone in 2014. I may have felt differently about it if get carter and performance hadn't been over 30 years old. It just lacks any originality both in terms of story and character. If this film really needed to be made, it might have been cool to include a talking dog or wise cracking parrot, or something that would sign post the fact that it doesn't take itself too seriously. It's a comedy film and it's funny, so there we are then.

Its really a blended film , dense with meanings and mainly mockeries of the bizarre world we live in. And thats where the comedy lies. Don't try to find " funny scenes" or lines. This is a complex film , that works out great as a whole. Richard Shepard basically mocks contemporary life with his irony , something familiar with his line of work in general as a writer/director. And i personally enjoy it , when its witty and not banal, not too obvious. And it certainly isn't that obvious here , which justifies why so many people misjudged it in a ridiculous 6.5 rating. Jude Law's performance is spectacular. I mean ... what was that ??? Immense nerve ,great adjustment into the psychology of the unlucky dramatic criminal whose daughter hates him. I guess you can claim it is a character driven film , but do consider its not just that. And i guess thats what a contemporary film really is. It is complex and intricate , because there are so many predecessors , and life today is so weird in complex ways , you need to portray some of it , if you want to produce current auras. Thats what its all about. And it succeeds it with great, real dialog , great acting , good plot development and solid direction and photography. I feel sorry for people who saw this and said " shallow story " or that it copies Guy Richie or a 2008 film Bronson. Stop taking things for granted , erase your prejudice , be aware that there certainly is obscene language and scenes , although not way far out , unless you're a nun or an ultra conservative in which case avoid this film. Otherwise , go watch it and judge for yourself. - 8/10

OK wow, "The man with no options suddenly has all the options." and this entitled ass of a man actually thinks that of course this and everything else is about him. Jude Law is just so good and raw from start to finish, this is one character that you will remember for a long time. My first memory of Richard E. Grant was the first time I saw the Krays, and this is a far different type of psychopath that he plays here, adding an enormous amount of humour to some very dark scenes. The main character of Dom seems to be based on Charles Bronson (the criminal not the actor) and he is just as hard not to root for no matter how much you want him to fail. I really Enjoyed this entire movie, there is a fully fleshed out, and well produced story with crazy imagery that keeps you buried deeply in Dom's mind, and with his short fuse, you just don't know what is going to happen next. The acting from all of the players is real, and very strong. I recommend this to action movie fans, and people who can deal with the dark, not your Grandmother's movie, but she might surprise you. Graphic violence, sex, and heavy on the language, but once you get past all that it's also a corrupt fairy tale humanizing a filthy animal, but it is entertaining.

At first look, Dom Hemingway seems to have all the makings of a good British crime comedy. Witty jokes, extraordinary characters, good fights, not-your-average gangsters. But overall, Dom Hemingway doesn't work as a movie. Why? Because the jokes aren't really witty, the characters, although out of the ordinary aren't deep and the plot, especially after a certain point, is too meaningless, you loose all curiosity and just don't care anymore. We could easily say that the director tried to go for the Guy Ritchie style. What he should've done was put more depth into the characters, give us more on their backstories. And make more use of some characters, like Madalene Ghenea's character, there could've been more to her then just having a few lines overall and running off with Dom's money. There were many stories within the movie worth extending and further exploring, like Dom's best friend and their youth days as criminals or his relationship with Melody. Instead of going for all that, the director chooses to provide us with meaningless scenes, an unmoving plot and second-class humor. All this shows that Guy Ritchie is indeed Guy Ritchie for a reason.

This film tells the story of a notorious London criminal who was just released after twelve years in jail. He indulges in carnal pleasure and more money making schemes, until he realises what is really important to him. "Dom Hemingway" starts off with a shocker scene of an almost unrecognisable Jude Law. His appearance is drastically changed from his heartthrob days! The unrecognisable Jude Law then goes on a monologue about his assets, which is so offensive and funny at the same time. Throughout the film, he puts on a good performance as an arrogant, ego-centric, foul mouthed alcoholic crook. Yet, he is likable for some unknown reason. His misbehaviour keeps on being entertaining, and the emotional elements work well too. The humour is a bit dark, but it is funny. For example, the car crash scene where people and objects (especially the hand) fly around made me laugh! I enjoyed watching "Dom Hemingway" a lot.

MAMUD MANNENov 22, 2022

From the first moment of the movie when we are 'treated to a rambling monologue from Jude Law using the type of extravagant language no self respecting gangster would use the tone is set. Dom Hemingway is a character that could have been interesting and engaging but Jude Law too often over acts catastrophically converting his performance from amusing to embarrassingly 'hammy' on far too many occasions. His relationship and interaction with Richard. E. Grant's Dickie character provides some of the highlights of the movie but the under use of the relationship and dialogue between these characters was bizarre. Far too little character depth or development is provide and as such by the end I didn't really know or care about who Dom Hemingway really was or what happened to him. Worst of all the relationship with Dom's estranged daughter Evelyn played by Emelia Clarke was an almost non-existent narrative strand when in reality it could and should have been a cornerstone of the story, the result of the mere suggestion of a father and daughter reconciliation story was so under developed and under used that what the film actually provides is a rather pathetic. The story of a daughter abandoned by an imprisoned father due to his adherence to a 'criminal code' could, should and would have provided a worthy central storyline on which the rest of the film could rest, sadly in this case it didn't. Dom Hemingway as a character and movie falls well short of what it could have been, essentially the movie storyline is:- criminal goes to jail for 12 years for honouring a 'criminal code', comes out talking line an extremely angry Royal Shaspearan actor with a cockney accent, gets drunk gets more angry, shouts and swear with , to or act old friends, in passing remembers he has a daughter that he wishes to reconcile with kind of doesn't The End. Style over substance very disappointing.

This is the first film made by Jude Law since he enrolled in the Robert de Niro Academy of Brama in which students are taught to equate psychopathic ranting at full throttle, laced liberally with the 'f' and 'c' words equates to Acting. With Vincent Cassell in France and now Jude Law in England the Academy now has footholds in three countries. Details of courses can be found on the website www.king'snewclothes.com. There's no denying it's effective because I've lost count of the number of otherwise sane, rational people who describe de Niro not just as an actor at all but a GOOD actor. Anyway Law turns in a passable carbon of his mentor and roars through an unremarkable 'revenge' movie spewing obscenities left and right on the offbeat of violent encounters. Those who like this sort of thing i.e. thirty-something cases of arrested development, will like it despite its interchangeability with dozens like it. Those who prefer real acting and at least a stab at original plotting will give it plenty of room.

Dom Hemingway is released from prison after a 12 year sentence and he is very angry. His wife passed away and his daughter wants nothing to do with him. A travel to the south of France to meet them man for whom he went to prison for might help restore his fortunes, although being the reckless foul mouth – his usual self – puts everything in jeopardy. This is supposed to be a crime comedy. On the crime side, we saw very little to justify Dom the criminal perhaps 3 scenes. On the comedy all we were treated was a perpetual verbal filth and repetition of words like: f**c, c**k, p***y, * etc. On the whole, it was a mildly entertaining experience whose shallow story and uninspiring dialogue never let it go on a high.

I really like Jude Law. I really wanted to watch this movie. But you are bombarded with filth from the very beginning. You have to commit yourself to wading through crud to pick out the humor and I just couldn't. I don't know what's going on with Hollywood. They have certainly turned up the nasty. It's so much worse now than it was even 5 years ago. It's to the point now that out of 5 movies I'm lucky if one is worth watching. Really makes me sad because I really like actors like Jude Law and I know he can perform but that's not the point. Everything you take in becomes a part of your human experience and I don't want to add smutty, lousy, nasty filth to my human experience. Now I'm wondering if IMDb actually believes in the first amendment or only if it agrees with their own review and views.
