The Business is "comparatively highbrow"? Man, the word "comparatively" is bearing a hell of a burden there, but you're not wrong. If you want to see David Hayman in top form, check out A Sense of Freedom (a HandMade Film, no less!) - Jesus, that's grim.

A Fairbrass mention! They brought him stateside for his own Taken with an entirely overqualified cast (James Caan, Jason Patric, Shannon Elizabeth) and it reeked entirely of one of those money-laundering movies DeNiro and 50 used to make (and maybe still do?).

Does Michael Caine's over praised "Harry Brown" count as blokesploitation? I doubt it, but maybe I'm wrong!
