Plot summary

David Blair directs this powerful British Drama, loosely inspired by John Steinbeck's novel 'Of Mice and Men'. Set in Nottingham, the film revolves around the relationship between the thuggish Danny (Stephen Graham) and Joseph (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), a giant of a man with a mental age of seven. When Danny finds himself in debt to a local crime boss, he feels he is left with no choice but to manipulate Joseph into participating in a series of underground cage fights from which Danny can pay his debts.

A gritty contemporary reenvisioning of Steinbeck's 'Of Mice

A gritty contemporary reenvisioning of Steinbeck's 'Of Mice and Men' which fails because Graham's version of the George character is fairly despicable. Steinbeck's story works because it is a story of friendship through difficult circumstances, but here the difficulties are largely self inflicted and the relationship is one of usage. At times also the tone of the picture moves away from sympathetic to almost contempt

Bit of bulk does come in handy. Danny

Bit of bulk does come in handy. Danny is a poor degenerate gambler who runs petty errands for a local gangster, but he also takes care of a special needs adult named Joseph. Joseph is a big strong man that defends Danny with every morsel of his existence, and Danny pays him back by taking care of him. When Danny gets too deep with the gangster, he has to enlist Joseph in underground fights. Joseph does well, so intern, Danny does well. Will Danny ever use the extra money from the fights to turn their lives around or will he burn all their dough on cocaine and hookers until they're both ruined? "Say hello to my little friend." "I thought I just did." David Blair, director of Mystics, Bert & Dickie, The Fattest Man in Britain, Tabloid, and The Brown Man, delivers Best Laid Plans. The storyline for this picture was actually very good and reminded me a little of Danny the Dog. The character development was very good and the entire film is very well written. The acting was also better than I anticipated and the cast includes Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Maxine Peake, David O'Hara, Brad Moore, Peter Wright. "I want 73 virgins all lined up in a row when I get there." I randomly grabbed this movie off Netflix and decided to give it a viewing. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this film. I was a fan of Stephen Graham from Boardwalk Empire and thought he was perfect in this movie. Akinnuoye-Agbaje also did awesome playing the special adult. Overall, this is a very nice addition to the genre and worth a viewing. "Mobile laundry?" Grade: B
