You're Dead... (1999)

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

BIG BIG BIG SPOILERSOk, straight away I admit this film starts slowly, but by the end, who cares? This film is amazing. John Hurt has always been one of the most underrated actors of his generation & he adds to this belief with this film. You're Dead is a hilarious film about a bank job which has gone wrong & not only features a quality soundtrack (can anyone think of a better film soundtrack than "The Hustle" by Van McCoy?!?!) but also leaves you at the end feeling warm inside. You're Dead breathes a breath of fresh air & contains a twist which no-one could expect. Worth mentioning also is that every film always seems to mention the title at some point or another. Most James Bond films finish with the final line being the title of the film (the ammount of Sean Connery films which finish with the title as the end is enourmous), but not many have as excellent a comeback as "what do you do now you're dead?" "live!" (that isn't accurate, but I know people sometimes read these despite spoilers & I don't want to give the entire twist away). This film is wonderful & definately worth a watch. Badger is a bad guy who you love to hate & that's another rarity. Too many films show a bad guy with a reasoning, it's nice to just have someone who you are disgusted by. This film is most definately worth a watch. I recommend it more than most other modern classics."do the hustle. dum dum de dum de dum dum dum, etc etc". LOVE THAT SONG!

i can´t understand why so many reviewers found this movie to be crap. in fact it is a very creative little piece of british cinema, definitely worth to take a look at. and if you have the chance (unfortunately i hadn´t), see it on the big screen. i would give it an 8/10 rating.

Theres not much you can really say about this film except that it was crap and probably the worst film i have ever been to see!! Take my advice don't watch this film it just wastes your money and time!!I gave this film a 1/10 which is doesn't deserve.

Geordie Pete turned me onto this film a few months ago. He had a pirate copy from some film geek mate in LA, as usual for Pete it was second generation and the sound was ropey, but he swore it was one of the best films of the nineties. We scoffed, but after a few beers we slapped it on. We p***** ourselves laughing. I looked forward to it's cinema release. I was shocked by the reaction of the british press, it was called "possibly the worst british film ever made" if that's not a recamendation I don't know what is. After suffering through the dreary War Zone which the press loved I don't trust them as far as I could throw them. Yes, it is a heist gone wrong film, I can't get enough of them. It's completley over the top and works perfectly with a crate of beer. Dondadda!!!
