An Incredibly Dark Comedy, Divorcing Jack stars
David Thewlis,
Original Hot Bad Guy Jason Isaacs, and
The Guy Who Plays Captain
Pellew in a tale of an alcoholic writer in Ireland who gets mixed
up with the Wrong People. Okay, here's the short story: David
Thewlis cheats on his wife (in the world's Most Awkward Sex Scene
Ever), accepts a tape that he thinks is classical music, gets
followed by gangsters trying to get it, and wackiness ensues. Oh,
and he commits an accidental murder, so he's also on the run from
the coppers.
Luckily for us, Jason Isaacs is one of the gangsters and he's wicked
evil. Torture involving a complicated pulley system is not for the
faint of heart, but Mr. Isaacs pulls it off masterfully. And I've
always had a soft spot for a Sophisticated and Suave Villain. He
alone makes the movie worth watching.
Quality of the Hot Guys: 
Jason Isaacs looks Very Fine Indeed
Quality of the Bad Guys: 
he's also Very Evil Indeed
Quality of the Other Stuff: 
all kinds of crazy leaps of faith
Overall Score:
