Danny Dyer's 'best performance' is in film 'you've probably never seen'

Fans of Danny Dyer have something to look forward to as the actor is set to appear on ITV's The Assembly tonight.

In the episode featuring Dyer, his media training will be put to the test by a panel of neurodivergent, autistic, and/or learning disabled interviewers, who will pose challenging questions to the celebrity guests. A recently released trailer revealed the show's air date and featured Dyer, along with other celebrities like David Tennant, , and Jade Thirlwall.

The Assembly will feature tough, no-holds-barred questioning, with examples such as "How working class was it to send your son to a private school?" directed at Dyer, "Does the know you're here?" aimed at Lineker, and other probing queries, such as "Do you get trapped wind?" and "Do you believe in God?".

Dyer's episode airs on ITV1 at 10:05pm, followed by David Tennant's on April 27 at 10pm. Those eager to see more of the star can catch him in a lesser-known action film on Amazon Prime Video.

In the 2013 British action-thriller Vendetta, Dyer plays Jimmy Vickers, a Special Ops interrogation officer who tracks down and exacts revenge on a gang that brutally murdered his parents, all while evading capture by the police and his former unit, reports .

Released in UK cinemas on November 22, 2013, Vendetta went on to become the highest-grossing Danny Dyer film since Dead Man Running. However, it may not be to everyone's taste, given its 17% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 12 critic reviews.

Critical reception was largely negative, with one reviewer simply saying "Dear me", while another sarcastically stated: "Danny Dyer proves he's a brilliant actor in a heartbreaking work of staggering genius. Just kidding."

Another scathing review described the film as "No 12 months at the cinema would be complete without something jaw-droppingly awful starring Danny Dyer."

However, some critics were more positive, calling the film "surprisingly decent".

Audiences were also divided, but one reviewer called it Dyer's best work yet, saying: "Pleasantly surprised by this one. Danny Dyer gives the best performance I've seen from him, as he leads an action-packed film which includes some interesting deaths. It is also shot well and paces itself nicely."

Another audience member praised the film as a straightforward action movie, saying: "Outright action movie. If you're not looking for needless drama, perfect for watching some unadulterated killing. No needless deaths, no droves of bad guys. Felt a bit like Taken, except he had time to do his killing and was creative with every one of them."

The film has sparked a divide between critics and fans, with one viewer raving: "If you believe in revenge against scumbags then this is it, brilliant film, loved it. Well done Danny Dyer, just wish this would happen more in real life."

Another was equally enthused, saying: "Wow, what a flick. Great story. Danny Dyer at his best, looks like there may be a 2nd. It's a great story, great cast, and an awesome movie 10/10."
