The third in the Jack trilogy, Jack Falls , is due for release in early 2011.
The film has received mixed ratings from various review sites, including a one star rating from The Guardian , which called it an "overcooked, overheated Brit gangster thriller". [2] Time Out also gave the film a one star rating, noting that the film had an "over-complicated flash-back/flash-forward structure and TV soap opera-style acting." [3] The Observer called it "half-baked" [4] and Little White Lies criticized its "absent direction" and called it "cack-handed" and "nonsensical", while finding Dyer "always watchable" and Walker both "ridiculously over the top" and "hypnotically enthralling." [5]
Film 4, on the other hand, awarded Jack Said 3 stars, describing David O'Hara as "excellent" and stating "If you've been waiting for a low-budget British take on Sin City, the film of your dreams is here!" [6]
