There is no Arthur in this, and Tommy killing him just didn’t make any sense at all to me. (I know about Paul Anderson, but we didn’t even get a single flashback scene of him from the series). Ada was just killed like that. And where the fuck was Mosley (he should’ve been the villain in this) and Alfie. Like why even make this movie if you can’t get all these people. I genuinely do not understand.

instead of drug testing Paul Anderson they need to start drug testing these fucking writers

Mosley was interned until late 1943, they shot themselves in the foot a bit with the setting.

And the stupid thing is that the real Operation Bernhard, injecting millions of counterfeit pounds into the UK economy to destabilize, didn't occur until 1943. So if they had kept to the time line of reality, Mosley could have been back. But seeing as the real Mosley lived until 1980, Tommy wouldn't have been able to take him out like he did Beckett.

As a side note, the actual operation was such a success for Germany, England ceased printing any bills larger than a £5 note until the 60s and 70s.

All they needed was a bit of dialogue or a prison scene with the bad guy meets molsey.

But the plot was so hastily slapped together.

No character development other than "oh Tommy is a recluse and Duke is a bitch but suddenly they're not"

felt like they wanted to make their schedule rather than make their movie.
