Now that this is streaming on Netflix I've decided to finally watch it, although had I know it stars Idris Elba I would not have waited as long. It actually creates a nice juxtaposition for the actor as I've only ever seen him play drug kingpin Russell 'Stringer' Bell in the HBO series
The Wire. It's kind of cool seeing him play an English character, it feels more natural, although he nailed the Baltimore accent and American gangster slang. Also I gotta love it when a Massive Attack song is used as an opening track.
