RANCID ALUMINIUM (2007)
ED THOMAS
Plot
Another darkly comic British thriller hot on the heels of 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrells', or is that hanging on to its coat tails with wheezzing, opportunistic, desperation?...whatever. Pete(the always excellent Rhys Ifans)is in serious trouble, his business is going down the tubes, unlike his sperm, his relationship is turning into a disaster, he's blind with lust for the secretary, his best made is a self serving sociopath, and the only way out of financial ruin seems to be the Russian Mafia; There's so much going on it's hard to keep track. Rancid Aluminium is slick, hip, pumpin' and a tad dim, don't think too hard and it's good for a laugh.
