 ... is perhaps a little over theatrical, particularly compared to everyone else's acting, but he's still good. As the tramp, he is a kindly old man who has somehow lost his way - his chance meeting with Mike is highly contrived, as is his involvement with the case thereafter - however that is not Jacobi's fault. Thankfully, he does look completely different, so there is no confusing the two roles. Vinnie Jones plays Mike. I think Vinnie Jones has some talent as an actor - I thought he was great in Lock, Stock and Two...more
