You don't have to believe all of it - or even any of it - to enjoy the rascally charms of Mr. Nice.
You don't have to be stoned to watch Mr. Nice, but it might help to be in the same state of mind as its real-life anti-hero, drug kingpin Howard Marks.
The result is a film that's long and choppy, with little narrative momentum. And yet at times, Mr. Nice is frustratingly close to brilliant.
A solid, often entertaining life-of-crimer which benefits from some stylistic touches and a faithful, convincing central performance.
There's too much narration and too many drug-movie cliches.
Writer-director Bernard Rose effectively conjoures an atompshere of poetic stoned-1960s British rebellion, a feeling of woozy, intoxicating possibility that will not-so-eventually be squashed.
This boppy biopic pushes a wealth of outrageous incidents while never making anything resembling a point.
