Nil by Mouth

DIRECTED BY: Gary Oldman

REVIEWED: 05-11-98

Gary Oldman directs this story about unpleasant Englishmen who attack each other, beat their wives, take drugs, and shout at each other for no reason. This film is the cinematic equivalent of a two-hour drum solo by a one armed drummer: the tone is relentlessly loud and becomes mind-numbingly dull after the third or fourth beat(ing). Imagine having your head stuck in a vise while a drunken cockney screams in your ear, and you've pretty much summed up this unfortunate attempt at a career shift for the rapidly fading Oldman.
