You won't be disappointed!

Absolutely brilliant

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

It seemed like someone took the brown acid when they wrote this. It's a crazy wacky ride with a unique vision. If you want to see tremendous performances by Gary Oldman, Billy Zane and the rest of the cast - tune in. If you like something different and off the wall - tune in. If you sometimes laugh when others don't get it - tune in. If you only like mainstream movies - tune out. This is not a movie in the normal Hollywood box and indeed has little to do with the U.S. This is a must own - for those who collect brand new visions. Note for parents: brief topless scenes.To summarize - A mix-up leads to many lives connecting. It sounds like you've heard it before, but not like this. A Dynamic cast nails their parts seamlessly, and while the movie has moments of mediocrity it stands out as a movie to beat in excellence. This will not be for everyone. Steer clear if you only watch Hollywood blockbusters and dislike festival movies or unique screenplays. I must repeat that Billy Zane and Gary Oldman really show off their dynamic talent.

I don't know why there are so many people hating on this movie. There are a few things I don't like about it either (the language being the main one), but that doesn't mean I find it all around "a waste of time". I think this movie is hilarious and fast paced. I like Gary Oldman and Robert Carlyle, and this movie did not lower my opinion of either. Those who let a simple movie lower their opinions of certain actors need to look at the bigger picture. They're ACTORS. Just because you don't like a character they play doesn't mean you have to stop liking them. In fact, to do that is just immature. There are bigger problems in this world than that. That said, I like this movie. I know it's not the best movie out there, but it's not the crap so many other people think it is. Oldman and Carlyle rock! -Amanda

Sometimes it's a miracle how they can transform a potential good movie in a complete piece of crap. Dead Fish has everything in it to become a nice gangster-comedy, but fails miserably. You can't blame the casting, though. There are some excellent casted actors in roles that suit them fine. Robert Carlyle is superbly casted as greedy loan shark. Gary Oldman plays the role of messed up hit-man with verve. Terence Stamp has that eerie aura that makes his presence worth gold.But still, despite of all those good actors casted in suitable roles, the movie just doesn't surpass any mediocrity. It feels as if its writers just grabbed a couple of elements from other gangster flicks and threw it in an inspiration-less mixer. It doesn't help that some of the plot lines are just too unfunny for words. I was thoroughly annoyed by the conversations between Drakan and his English host. It just felt as an endless repeating of the same joke that wasn't funny the first time you heard it.Dead Fish has its moments, but lacks too much.

The three out of nine people who found this gem boring can only be boring themselves.This is as good as it gets in the imagination department and is as fresh as a daisy.Hollywood are welcome to block busters. As long as there is still someone out there who produces creative work in the entertainment department that is this innovative across the board:acting, camera, script, editing, soundtrack and then some, there is still a smidgen of intellect left in the industry.Please make more!
