Leave your thoughts about Hard Boiled Sweets.
| VarietyGuy LodgeThough an enthusiastic cast and a somewhat tacked-on feminist twist reduce the sour aftertaste, the tone isn't aggressive or witty enough to distinguish this from umpteen other Guy Ritchie knockoffs. |
| CineVueJoseph WalshUltimately, Hard Boiled Sweets fails to entertain, and stands only as a messy mash-up of cockney gangster stereotypes. |
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchThe film is smart, though not as smart as it thinks. |
| Empire MagazineTom SeymourA miserable mess of gangland cliches and narrative tangle that deserves to be dropped off the end of Southend pier, preferably attached to an anvil. |

| Little White LiesAdam Lee DaviesMakes you actively appreciate Guy Ritchie. Actively. Appreciate. Guy. Ritchie... |
| User ReviewPer HNicely filmed with just enough explanation of each character and a plot to keep you guessing right until the end. |
