He Who Dares: Downing Street Siege (2014)
Awful
I had high hopes of the film having read the description, what could be better than a film showing the British SAS in all their glory? It was frankly and utterly awful; to start the Police uniforms were wrong, the acting was awful, key details were wrong and whomever wrote it clearly hadn't bothered to research the UK Security Services or related protocols.
It's a shame, having seen White House Down and Olympus has Fallen I had high hopes of this being on par or even better given the SAS twist.
Words cannot explain the travesty that is this film, I feel anyone unfortunate enough who watches this should receive an apology from the writers!
Arthur (2011)
Give it a chance
Having not seen the original I wasn't expecting a great deal; I wasn't even planning to watch the film but a friend insisted.
It was rather enjoyable, well written and some splendid quotes. Yes a couple of lines did seem forced, and a little out of place but on the whole it was jolly good.
Russell Brand portrayed Arthur very well (perhaps because Arthur's lifestyle is so similar to his own?) and managed to remain relatively suave even whilst intoxicated, but as a previous poster wrote we can't moan that we didn't actually see him 'drunk' per se as the world has changed and a lot of people would no doubt object to that.
I would recommend this film to anyone, give it a chance it may surprise you.
