In the first minutes I saw where it goes and it means nowhere where I've never been before. All that mix of music and jump up through characters you have some projection as you are seeing a kind of Ritchie's failed work and in that mix of narrator and could say a smell of the ground you are in Boyle's preparing how should be, but still not possible to be done. Even, Ken Loach would see that someone is trying to copy him. Very weak plot can't improve a good acting, even if we have in its cast the names as Colm Meaney. The creator wanted to be realistic, but he created something a pretty much far away from it.

A massively lacklustre and stereotypical attempt to copy what's been done far better in the past. Assume only the cast have rated it so far given marks of 10 (I mean seriously, according to the user reviews it's more accomplished than Ben Hur). It's a lazy 4 at the very best. Script and delivery isn't slick enough for what it's trying to achieve and the lead characters overact and don't have the style or gravitas to pull off their roles. Got bored after about 20 minutes. Wouldn't recommend unless you know Grimsby and perhaps enjoy recognising landmarks or can link to the history in some way. Or love ships / fish.

Only writing this because one plonker gave it a 1/10 by mistake. The accent are off, but better than Sasha Baron Cohen - all in all a good film to get to know Grimsby. It a recently deprived town and needs to be saved from the waves before its too late. I lived there for a year and the people are good honest hard working citizens and are land sick waiting to back to sea. Losing The Cod wars of the 1950s and 1960s has put Grimsby in a limbo, not quiet dead not quiet alive. Was also heavily bombed in WW2. Add a splash of fishing regulations and you have trawler skippers putting glacia cherrys on buns in factories. I hope this film puts Grimsby on the map, its got a huge potential.

It's truly heart-breaking knowing that some empty-headed stupid high-budget titles get all the fame, whereas the true art can be overlooked. Three Day Millionaire has everything you need for a gem of a Film - characters you care about, strong plot, suspense, decent writing, passionate execution, fluent editing, remarkable score/soundtrack. I felt so much emotionally attached to the story in just no time and the last thing I was expecting to see on the IMDb page was the rating this low. I've never visited England before, but once I do, I'll definitely go see Grimsby. Can't wait for this to come out on UHD.

A honest review from somebody who doesn't live in Grimsby, nor knows any of the cast. It's pretty poor. I was sure it was going to be when I saw a load of first time reviewers giving it ten out of ten. Unfortunately I never learn!! A group of mates are persuaded by Jonas Armstrong to rob a safe containing half a million pounds so that they can set up their own fishing trawler. The first hour is pretty much 'will they or won't they take part'. Spoiler Alert.... They do! Once they do it's over and done with very quickly but the film continues. The lad narrating the film plays his part well, the rest of the unknown actors will probably stay unknown. The storyline sounds good, the film wasn't.

Enjoyable flick but if you've seen an episode of Brassic on Sky then you've seen it before. Filled with similar characters- the nice but educationally challenged types, rogues with a heart, with the usual generic nick names Curly, Budgie etc. Still worth a watch for free on Netflix though. Good to see Grimsby as the focal point for all the antics rather than London or Manchester, and you get the right feeling of how tough times are lin these small fishing towns. Acting was of a decent quality and they managed to give enough back story characterisation for a 90 odd minute film, so recommended none the less.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this film. It's not my usual choice of film, but I was very pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed it. The leading characters were rich and had interesting backstories. The actors really took me on a journey and I was completely invested in them. Having not grown up in England, I found the concept of the Three Day Millionaires really fascinating and personally thought that many of the themes and social commentaries were relatable to most traditional English towns and villages. I thought that the film had a really heartwarming and beautiful community spirit too. I absolutely loved the cinematography, director's style and music. Thank you Jack and the Three Day Millionaire cast and crew.

Slice of northern life. It's fun, heartfelt and a joy to watch. The characters are all well defined and likeable. The three lads find themselves totally out of their depth when they agree to perform a heist and rob their employer's safe, whilst the three lasses want them to 'do the right thing' but opinions on that differ! It's funny yet touching, particularly the scene with Curly and his dad Teapot, an old sea dog who'd love to be back out on the river but ill health and the demise of the industry make this an impossibility. Curly attempts the heist thinking it will give his dad one last chance. It made me laugh and cry, there's a lot of heartfelt moments among the capers. The female characters all have great strength, take no nonsense and ultimately save the lads from themselves. Fab! Great soundtrack too.

My husband and I saw this film on Tuesday in Beverley, hadn't heard anything about it previously but had seen most of other films showing. Thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish, very similar to films I grew up watching in the late 1960s. The cast were fabulous, particularly liked the way James Burrows' character talked to 'us' the audience, made it seem more realistic! Didn't see the end coming either! The Waterboys soundtrack was very fitting for the film beginning with Fisherman's Blues and ending with The Whole of the Moon. The latter is 'our' song so we were last out as had to sit and listen whilst the credits rolled!

The classic saying Three Day Millionaire goes back to the old trawlerman days who spent most of their lives living aboard trawler ships returning to cash in oh their haul of fish and and spend more or less every penny living to the nearest thing these men would ever experience of being a millionaire. Living local myself in Hull I found this film highly enjoyable a dark comedy that didn't fail to have the audience in laughter. Hull like Grimsby relied heavily upon the fishing industry in the years gone by. The film was written beautifully with a Guy Richie feel to it, there was a lot crammed into this movie but people should remember these small British film companies have nowhere near the budget of well established Film production firms camera shooting was excellent and the main cast all did a fantastic job I am sure we will be seeing a lot more of the lesser known actors/actresses in this movie. I would highly recommend watching this movie!
