'Grimsby' (2016) – Louis Leterrier.

 

Excluding 'Ali G', and 'Borat', and intermittently inspired moments of 'Bruno', I wouldn't exactly class myself as an especially ardent fan of the mercurial, globe-trotting trickster Sasha Baron Cohen, and the asinine poster art for the aggressively disreputable looking 'Grimsby' was no less appealing than super-chav Nobby's (Sasha Baron Cohen's) profoundly grotty bathroom slippers, but after the bawdy film's dizzyingly kinetic 'Crank'-esque bullet-shredded opening my initial frown was boisterously turned upside down by the joyfully filth-laden film's generously endowed display of frequently hilarious crudity, erupting in an elephantine climax of uncommonly salacious silliness! It takes bovine balls to be this unapologetically crass, and Nobby's estranged special ops brother Sebastian (Mark Strong) bravely goes 'balls-out' to save the western world from comic book crazy terrorists in director Louis Leterrier's visually sleek, refreshingly tasteless, luridly low brow, heroically high-octane, gutter-crawlingly hysterical action comedy bonanza. Some evenings I just wanna kick back, and incautiously work my way through a sixer and have a right ol' giraffe, mayte, and 'Grimsby' proved to be a recklessly silly riot of stupendously stupid slapstick tomfoolery, and, sometimes, that can be a very good thing indeed!'Grimsby' is a balls-out action-comedy culminating in an explosively satisfying climax!'
