User Review - 8/10 by jarrad bThe Hot Potato is a typical British caper movie in the same spirit as The Italian Job complete with rhyming cockney and dodgy Eastend criminals. It borrows the classic characters from all good spy and gangster movies and turns them into comedy fodder adding the stylish backdrop of 60s London plus a few European cities to spice things up. It is refreshing to see Ray Winstone playing a more subdued character than his usual hard nut type. Following in her father's footsteps is eldest daughter Lois Winstone playing the surprising Carol. Carol goes from looking like Velma in Scooby Doo to being an Emma Peel action woman. Danny played by Jack Huston is a lovable bloke and a bit of a chancer who thinks the uraniunm is a "Baked potato with ears." Not the brightest bulb in the box, Danny's one for an easy life and spends much of the film trying to lure Carol to the bedroom. The Hot Potato is a fun hark back to the classic comedy this country is so good at producing. It's got great acting, fantastic scenery and is set in one of the most colourful periods of the modern time.
User Review - 8/10 by Nick SA nice, easy going yarn set in the 60s with authentic vehicles. Definately sends you back to that era. Not much action, more of a story that bounces along at a reasonable pace. One to watch on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
User Review - 6/10 by Toni STwo Wheeler dealers in the Eastend tumble accross a Small piece of high grade Uranium. They don't know what to do but soon interest comes pouring in.
User Review - 6/10 by John WThe worst example of shooting firearms ever...crack police marksmen and crack terrorists shoot thousands of rounds but dont hit anyone!!
User Review - 4/10 by Jerry FTrue stories don't always make good films. This one has it's moments. Interesting. Ray Winstone is doing a good job with a poor story. The 1960's are portrayed well with lots of happy smokers. And some superb classic cars..but they are all too clean ! So obviously restored and rented out for the film. Probably best to give this one a miss.
User Review - 4/10 by Karsh DDisappointing comic crime caper despite a fine cast. Two east end chancres get their hands on some uranium and travel across europe to get the best price for it
User Review - 4/10 by Richard MStarted out very well and thought this was going to be a British Cheeky chappie crime caper but it became so confusing with the double dealings that I ended up relieved rather than sad when the film came to an end. Not one of Ray's better ............
