Leave your thoughts about The Liability.
| Movie ChambersPaul ChambersA bit of a surprise in the direct-to-video market. "The Liability" is not the greatest film about British gangsters. Not by a long shot. But, it does have its moments, thanks to the excellent Tim Roth. |
| Total FilmNeil SmithCraig Viveiros' witty, grisly Brit flick about a weary assassin reluctantly mentoring a cocky upstart. |
| New StatesmanRyan GilbeyIt's the performances of Roth and O'Connell (and that of Peter Mullan as their imposing boss) that I want to highlight here. |
| Empire MagazineAnna SmithA blackly effective British road movie fuelled by the easy chemistry between the two leads. |
| Daily Express (UK)Henry FitzherbertPromising talent all round, including director Craig Viveiros. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawA flawed but interesting downbeat Brit thriller with some creepy, leftfield jolts, calling to mind Mike Hodges with a twist of Tarantino. |
| HeyUGuysLisa Giles-KeddieOffers some well-rounded performances from Roth, O'Connell and Mullan ... it offers nothing beyond the usual markers of such a coming-of-age film ... |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerWatchable, blackly comic British thriller enlivened by likeable performances, some engagingly left-field turns and a script that's peppered with decent one-liners ... |
| The ListJames MottramBetween Roth and O'Connell, there is an amusing chemistry - though the script lacks the sheer aggression of Sexy Beast or foul-mouthed word play of In Bruges, two other fine examples in this arena, to be ranked alongside either. |
| The Mail on Sunday (UK)Matthew BondThis British film is consistently just a little better and more surprising than it first appears. |
