IRONicmerMAN 391 Posted July 12, 2016 This is hot garbage. There's not even a description on Wikipedia. Despite a couple decent cast members, "Rancid Aluminium" is just, well, rancid. Â https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rancid_Aluminium https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AibNZoDSXt8 Â "Rancid Aluminium is a terrible mess from first-time feature director Ed Thomas, with a screenplay by James Hawes adapted from his own bestselling novel. Â It's about a young guy Pete (Rhys Ifans) and his dodgy accountant mate Deeny (Joseph Fiennes), who, to save their failing London business, get involved with the Russian mafia. This film succeeds in getting its cast - some of the brightest and best of British character actors, young and old - to give the worst performances imaginable. Â Joseph Fiennes does a one-eyebrow-raised smirk, with a bad Irish accent. Tara Fitzgerald plays a beautiful Russian woman whose accent veers wildly around and appears, at some stages, to be dubbed. The plot is all over the place, eventually incomprehensible, and very, very boring. The film-makers clearly have not the slightest interest in how the Russian mafia really look or behave, remaining content with a silly, uninteresting vodka-commercial caricature. This film wastes a lot of talent." Â Share this post Link to post
