But that’s only intention is to quickly go down the drain because razdolbaystva subordinates vtravit organization Harold in underground war against the Irish Republican Army . And these guys are in a constant state of war , are not accustomed to sentimental , and then an explosion . Lots of explosions.
Chaotic beginning of the film , its intriguing mystery and innuendo , frenetic action is replaced with the first appearance of Harold on the screen. Its brightly emphasized by many of the details of the film exclusivity provisions in the criminal world of London, crumbles to dust before the inexorable machine bloody revenge.

A masterpiece. As good, if not better, than Get Carter (the original). But the English Blu-Ray!

This is a nice film. However all your downloads including this movie take a long time. I have a broadband up to 15 MB per second and the download speed of your site is about 15kb per second, if we are lucky. Roughly speaking the download can take anywhere between 5 hrs and 16 hrs.
