Dom Hemingway

Jude Law gives a charismatic and entertaining performance. He plays an angry, volatile, self-riotous man who is brought down to earth. Dom Hemingway is an interesting fellow. The rest of the film is not so much. Sure, the story steers clear of the usual cliches, but it is essentially aimless. We are set-up to see a man fall on hard times and then rise again in a new light. That doesn't happen. The second half squanders all promise of the first. What's left is a downward decline in investment. Dramatic situations that could make for an interesting turn in the story show up every scene and are immediately thrown away. The ending makes the rest feel like a waste. Could've been much more.
