    Absolutely rubbish film totally disappointing

    One of the worst films I have ever sat and watched. Terrible acting.

    The Mad Axeman

    After watching this film I logged on to Imdb to look at the reviews. I was quite surprised by all the negative reviews. It was no Oscar winner I would agree but not a bad watch on the whole. It tells the true story of Frank Mitchell a career criminal hard man who escapes from prison and holds up in a safe house provided by the notorious Kray twins. I thought the acting by the three main characters was not as as bad as others had stated, and I quite enjoyed it.

    Don't bother it's dire.

    Pathetic,i've seen better acting in Crossroads,low budget it certainly is!!

    laughable acting low low budget

    Just a couple of words on this trash...the first review is 10/10 I watched the movie and I have to say that the "person(s)" associated with the film who placed this first rating of 10/10 GOOD LUCK! It's a terrible, boring, low budget, badly acted piece of crappolla! What a joke.

    Not that bad

    After the opening 5 mins I was moments from switching it off. The stereotype cockney hard man gangster accent down the phone made me think it's been made by 12 year olds. But I gave it a chance and actually quite enjoyed. It grew on me as it went along.
