AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

proboscus-62391 I was expecting something along the lines more lock -stock for a nice watch with a nice plot some laughs and relative violence , well what happened, Film totally bereft of a plot or a scanty plot bereft of any twist, character giving birth in the bath at home while her husband is getting kicked to death is 1 of maybe 3 scenes that show you a glimpse that the film makers may or may not have been working to a story board but its ending is possibly its biggest mystery it was like the characters had to be their for the climax and that was it, the narrator talked a great talk but when he came to London as the box he forgot how to be a gangster and was looking to get caught for nothing. Really sloppy directing with few good scenes acting was disappointment but that was probably down to direction and scripting or lack of. would not recommend

jonnycain-158-641483 I've never quite understood why they insist in speaking with these unreal London accents! Needless to say this could have been an average film at best, but instead we are left with what seems a poorly edited, averagely directed and some rather poor acting. The plot is weak at its best and the script is so way off from we are expecting in terms of British film standards.That said, if you have some free time on a Wednesday afternoon, you could do a lot worse.Not our finest British hour.

Paddy O'Connell Straight off, I'm not a huge fan of the genre. I find the Mockney accents and the incessant "Geez" muttered from the edge of a sneer, a bit cringeworthy. I don't generally find it possible to believe in the characters and be taken away from the thought that they're all RADA trained actors that call each other darling when the cameras are off (Big exception to that is Tom Hardy of course!).So I watched this film not expecting much and wasn't disappointed.The overall story was extremely predictable, I was never at the edge of my seat. I thought it was poorly directed in so much that it didn't build tension, it didn't develop the characters to create any empathy with any of them and more importantly, when our lead has reached his crux moment we were treated to a flashback montage that wouldn't have looked out of place in a 1980s episode of Neighbours.The acting was average overall. The best friend's wife clearly used Waynetta Slob as her inspiration (although at least her accent sounded more authentic than others).The lead actor needed to shave and punch the make-up artist who apparently hasn't worked in Hi-Def before.Vincent Regan was the most believable in my eyes, always a pleasure to watch. He stole every scene although that wasn't exactly the Brink's Mat Heist. Ricci Harnett is OK but better as a henchman than a boss. Jason Flemyng must have been too busy working on good projects for a real part in this film. Shame, because he's a fantastic actor.To summarise, don't bother watching it. You already know what happens or will quickly get to the point where you don't care.Watch the Offender instead.

Karl Jeffery It seems the easy option these days if you are a British film-maker is to tell of a low-rent crime caper so I didn't go into this film with high expectations but it really did impress me.The football hooligan story is something that has been done to death over the last few years but it is almost incidental in this film, it just provides a back-story to the characters. This film is more about how a simple act made without any real malice can backfire and escalate.The characters are believable, the acting is good and the film moves along at a fair pace which gives a good idea of how bad things happen so quickly. Well acted, good characterisation, and a decent story, can't ask for much more than that!
