Ricci Hartnett portrays Carlton Leach as a complete douchebag


his wannabe cockney accent is so annoying. his character is so chavvy and so dumb. it ruins the whole film

reply

The fact you've used the word 'douchebag' in your title totally ruins any arguement you've got.

reply

Why? Because it's American English? I'm sorry. I'm neither British nor American. I can't know the origin of every word.

I thought Ricci was good. His wig was rubbish, but that's not his fault. Whilst I thought him good, I thought the movie awful.

Leach was probably made to look like a better person in this movie than he really was.

He's portraying an eastend football hooligan/small time criminal, what was he supposed to be like?

reply

Whilst I wouldn't have used the word "douchebag", I agree that his character was a pr!ck, w@nker, cun_t, whatever. I feel that in a film like this, there should be ONE redeeming thing about the lead, but he was just a vile wide boy. I couldn't have given a f@ck about him.

I think the redeeming quality of the character was he decided to not go down the road his three mates were going, Yeah he done some pretty brutal *beep* in the past and at the time he was caught right up in it but after the Rettendon murders he knew it was his time to live life on the other side of the coin, But if you don't feel that way I don't know what to say i'm at a loss

Have to agree with this, the mockney accent got really annoying. Apart from occasionally going mental and roaring in slow motion he seemed clinically depressed throughout.

His real life counter part wasn't much different.

Men are guilty of all the good they do not do.

Half way the movie he turns from hot head destroyer to whining "i'm tired" "no i don't go" etc the other guys at least had fun!

That was real? I saw that movie, I thought it was bullsh*t
