The Harry Potter series supposedly has the A-team of British thespians, but the cast of 44 Inch Chest is pretty damn good. Ray Winstone, Ian McShane, John Hurt, Tom Wilkinson, Joanne Whalley, and an “inglourious basterd” headline this conman comedy about a man who is pretty broken up about his wife fooling around on him. So he kidnaps the guy. By the looks of the trailer, things don’t go according to plan, but who cares – I’m sold.
44 Inch Chest is directed by newcomer Malcolm Venville. The screenplay was co-written by Louis Mellis and David Scinto. Image Entertainment picked up the U.S. distribution rights, but as of now does not have a set release date.
