Info

Shooters is a drama documentary film, directed by Dan Reed for Suspect Device Films. The film is set in Liverpool and used local criminals as actors depicting the lives of local 'gangsters'. It is most notable for having been completely unscripted apart from a brief outline; each scene was improvised and ad-libbed by the actors themselves.

Shooters Audience Reviews

NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
thundereous It does not take long to get past the low production values in comparison to Hollywood, however, the story, directing and acting are absolutely and thoroughly absorbing. There simply is no fault in camera, directing or acting by anyone. I could so easily write a review that would be pages long detailing all its excellent points but reading previous reviews would be a mere repetition. It reminded me of the excellent gritty English "kitchen sink" drama movies in the 50's 60's and 70's.So I have opted to find points to criticize and here they are This movie was not long enough I would recommend a part 2 to tie up the loose ends of the crime itself, the implications to other gang members and gangs and the family's dealing in the aftermath of the crimes and tragedies. This director, writer and actors should do more work together.
tim-peck-15088 ..... The best UK Gangster Film ever made.Let's just say the portrayals are in every case, convincing.Love to know how these lads are getting on 15 years later. My son meet a couple of them when he was up in Liverpool a few years ago and apparently the are "Sound La's"I think a couple of the fella's did other acting gigs but it seems that no one made the big time. Shame as clearly, on the whole, most of them were naturals.If you've not watched it, it's floating about on some of the Kodi add- ons.Absolutely worth a watch!!
Jedi Mind Being a 18 year old lad from Liverpool and having been involved with not the nicest of people around here, the reputation of the actors in this film proceeds them. I must state the storeys we used to hear from lads about these "actors" were mind blowing, these men are real gangsters and for me, that is what makes this film, its sad to see some of the reviews posted here. Granted, this is no Hollywood blockbuster, but how many Hollywood actors have committed murder, extortion and organised drug deals on a major level? Pfft... This is not a film were stars get the dirt from under there nails taken out by a assistant in there trailer, the "trailer" of these men is the street. You cannot expect such formidable men to act like someone in theatre, this is the Liverpool you arnt shown on T.V, this is REAL.
mushie-2 director Dan Reed wanted to make a film about an underworld killing that took place in Liverpool 1996 unable to follow this through he set about making a piece about people living with and through crime, and with practically no budget, and actors with no experience he's made a sensational, tough and raw piece of cinema.There is no denying that it has a film school quality but that just adds to the realism of the movie.If you like your films tough, hard to sit through but ultimately rewarding then treat yourself.
