5 d. ago The Diamond Heist review – Guy Ritchie’s thrilling tale of the failed Millennium Dome jewel robbery

This three-part documentary about the attempt to steal hundreds of millions of pounds’ worth of diamonds is pacey and stylish – but it definitely didn’t need to glamorise the real-life violenceI suppose the wonder is that it has taken Guy Ritchie so long to get around to telling the story of the Millennium Dome robbery, in which – way back at the turn of the century, children – a group of south-east London criminals ram-raided a national joke in pursuit of the 203-carat Millennium Star diamond worth £200m, which De Beers had unaccountably agreed to display in the capital’s gangster heartland.Strictly speaking, Richie himself is not telling it; the three-part documentary The Diamond Heist comes from Oscar and Emmy award-winning company Lightbox and is executive produced by Ritchie. But the subject matter is so perfectly him that any meaningful separation in your mind as you watch it collapses quicker than a Greenwich exhibition venue’s shutters under the weight of a JCB driven at spe...

3 w. ago MobLand review – Tom Hardy can pull off miracles! And this show needs a few

Sure, this Guy Ritchie gangster drama is so cartoonish you could dismiss it as crass twaddle. But watching Hardy threaten people is irresistibleTom Hardy can be very persuasive. In Taboo, people did what he said because he’d growled something intimidatingly gothic at them; in Locke, they knew he’d only phone back later if they didn’t give in; in the Kray brothers biopic Legend, there were two Tom Hardys and they were both holding claw hammers. Whenever he’s the celebrity reader on CBeebies Bedtime Stories, meanwhile, half of the adults watching wouldn’t need any persuading.The idea that a Tom Hardy character cajoling, threatening or influencing someone is an art form in itself is the core of MobLand, a decent new gangster epic that casts Hardy as top fixer Harry Da Souza. Harry works for the Harrigans, the Irish clan who dominate the London drugs and guns scene, but who are prone to excess and perhaps not as savvy as they once were. Their charming, clinical lieutenant Harry cleans u...

3 w. ago MobLand: Tom Hardy deserves better than Guy Ritchie’s mediocre 90s

Hardy, Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and Paddy Considine are well and truly phoning it in in this gangland drama that’s a total throwback to the 90s – with the awful cockney accents to matchLots of people wish it were still the 1990s. You’d expect that Tony Blair does, and Tim Lovejoy probably does, and the guy from Babylon Zoo definitely does, and anyone who bought an Oasis ticket this year only did that because they live in a state of perpetual revulsion that the millennium ever happened. But I guarantee you that nothing on Earth wishes it were the 1990s more than the new Paramount+ series MobLand.Just describing MobLand (out Sunday 30 March) feels like a game of 1990s nostalgia bingo. It’s directed by Guy Ritchie, the 90s director. It stars Pierce Brosnan, the 90s Bond. It’s a London-set crime drama full of characters who talk in cartoonish cockney accents like they’re doing Parklife karaoke. The criminals are a family called the Stevensons, rather than a bunch of kids o...
