It's interesting to see the very different opinions on this film.
I really didn't expect very much, despite one of my favourite actors - Tom Hardy - being in this film, however..............I loved it. It was just 98 minutes of sheer fun.
For me it was a perfect combination of romantic comedy and action.
For me 9/10

I'm watching Tom on Jonathan Ross now & all I can say is that he has extended his repertoire for me! Love him!

Just saw Tom Hardy on Jonathan Ross. I think I have a little crush (sans beard).

Here's my review: http://londonfilmfanatiq.com/2012/02/14 ... means-war/

I love Tom Hardy, but he can't rescue this one on his own.
102 Different free films seen in 2010 plus 2 repeat viewings and a few tv show screenings... not too shabby. Thanks to everyone for their contributions here.

T'is rather critical but you can't argue with whats been said.
Hard to see what this is meant to be and can get a bit confusing if you try to do both... some good laughs but nothing worth p*ying for in my humble opinion.
