British Comedy Guide, 24th September 2021Mark Strong to star in Sky comedy thriller Temple
Mark Strong will play a surgeon running an illegal underground clinic in Sky One's new darkly comic thriller Temple.
British Comedy Guide, 22nd August 2018Sacha Baron Cohen's Norman "Nobby" Butcher, a Grimsby Town football fan suddenly thrust back into the life of his elite government assassin brother Sebastian (Mark Strong), is sadly not a comedic gem of a character to rank with Borat and Brüno. There's some fun in the brothers' riotous, sub-Bond action antics, but the constant stream of gross body-fluid jokes and the mock-northern accent soon grow tiring, while a cast including Penélope Cruz and Ian McShane is pretty much wasted.
Paul Howlett, The Guardian, 21st October 2016Review: Grimsby, a bad taste comedy of epic proportions
Grimsby] is the kind of film you know you shouldn't laugh at, it's unbelievably disgusting and in no way witty or topical like Cohen's past ventures, but there's an audience for this type of comedy and I dare say they will lap it up in spades - just make sure you shower afterwards.
Peter Gray, Q News, 10th March 2016Grimsby: 'the scum' vs Malthusians

Kate Muir, The Times, 26th February 2016Grimsby: most hideous, hilarious movie this year
Sacha Baron Cohen pushes the comedy envelope as far as he can with his latest creation in this rude, crude and utterly outrageous comedy.
Alex Zane, The Sun, 26th February 2016Grimsby movie review
A grim encounter with a former comedy prince.
Chris Wasser, The Independent (Ireland), 26th February 2016Review: Grimsby
Bad taste spy spoof from writer-star Sacha Baron Cohen, with Mark Strong.
Katherine McLaughlin, The List, 25th February 2016Grimsby feels amateurish & it despises its own audience
What makes Grimsby an especially steep falling-off after Baron Cohen's last three movies is the sense that no one really cared whether it came off or not; the whole enterprise has a "will-this-do?" quality.
