Synopsis
Mr. Nice (2010) is a crime drama with a comic streak that you can watch online on iFILM. Rhys Ifans plays Howard Marks, the charming Welshman who went from Oxford graduate to one of the biggest cannabis smugglers of the 1970s.
Working under dozens of fake names and a tangle of nearly ninety phone lines, Marks moves tons of hash across borders while juggling the mob, drug enforcement agents and some deeply unlikely partners — the IRA on one side, British intelligence on the other. His wife Judy (Chloë Sevigny) and the volatile Jim McCann (David Thewlis) ride along for the chaos.
Director Bernard Rose adapts Marks' own memoir without turning him into an icon or sermonizing. Ifans carries the whole thing — his Marks is a crook you can't help rooting for. One for fans of breezy con-man tales like Catch Me If You Can. Stream Mr. Nice (2010) online on iFILM.
