"ALFIE"

Jude Law, Marisa Tomei, Susan Sarandon, Sienna Miller, Omar Epps, Nia Long


"A player until he got played!"


Alfie



What's it all about, Alfie?

Well if you judge it by this film.

I would say it is ALL about Jude Law.


Jude Law looking gorgeous in metrosexual clothes.
Jude Law talking straight to the camera with a twinkle in his eyes.
Jude Law having romps with different women.
Even without appearing naked in any of the shots.
Jude Law's lovely accent and toothy grin.
Jude Law on a trendy vespa like scooter traipsing all over New York.
Jude Law romancing women as Mick Jagger sings "Blind leading the Blind".
Jude Law as a charming limo chauffeur.
Jude Law looking vulnerable after a health scare.

Jude Law, Jude Law and more Jude Law.

Yes it is all about him.

Alfie in this modern version is transported to America but still retains his Brit accent. Still fashionable, awfully charming and looking like he stepped out of the pages of GQ magazine, despite being a mere limo driver, take note! Yet despite his dandy womanizing ways, he remains oh so humanely vulnerable. You simply cannot hate him for being such a cold hearted slug who has huge commitment issues. You sort of feel sorry for his lonesome fate.

The abrupt ending does have you wondering just as Alfie did.

"What's (this film) all about?"
