Dom Hemingway is a 2013 British black comedy–crime drama film directed and written by Richard Shepard. The film stars Jude Law, Richard E. Grant, Demián Bichir, Emilia Clarke, Jumayn Hunter, Mădălina Diana Ghenea, and Kerry Condon. It was shown at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival.[1]
Plot
Dom Hemingway (Jude Law) is a larger-than-life safecracker with a loose fuse, funny, profane, and dangerous. Back on the streets of London after twelve years in prison, it's time to collect what he's owed for keeping his mouth shut.[2]
Travelling with his devoted best friend Dickie (Richard E. Grant), Dom visits his crime boss Mr Fontaine (Demián Bichir) in the south of France to claim his reward. But Dom's drink and drug-fuelled ego decides what he’s lost can’t be replaced. One car accident and a femme fatale later, Dom realises his priority must be to reconnect with his long-lost daughter Evelyn (Emilia Clarke).
