Oh yeah, and he’s a damn fine writer. Here’s hoping the movies will give his work the recognition it ought to have.<br /><br />I didn’t really get into the Transporter movies, but Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and Snatch are some of my favorite crime movies of all time.

LONDON BOULEVARD filming as we speak, ONCE WERE COPS optioned as well, BLITZ about to be filmed (isn't Jude Law in this one?), and I understand that the Jack Taylor novels are heading for the screen as well: series for TV. The only bloody thing wrong with this whole scenario is that I can't find Ken anywhere - and I used to be able to down a few pints with him on a regular basis here in Galway. Guess I'll have to wait till he gets that pad in Malibu ... but, hell, that's no good either, there aren't any decent pubs there!

He was also in THE BANK JOB, which showed me at least that he had some acting chops. He's very good at playing understatedly intense, and I think he could really bring the proper aura of barely controlled menace to Brant. <br /><br />Yeah.
