Given its meandering script and absurdly grand guignol ending, it's astonishing that The Birthday Cake could attract such a starry cast.

No matter how you slice it, this star-studded mob film still seems undercooked.

Giannopoulos might be inexperienced, but he's canny with mood and unafraid to experiment with the rhythms of violence. I, for one, am keen to see what he does next.

There may be a great deal of competition in the category, but I nominate this crime drama as the worst Mob movie ever made!

A barrage of mob movie cliches undermines what might have been an intriguingly offbeat tale.
