Victim Audience Reviews

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
MattyGibbs Victim is a small drama set in London. It follows a young man trying to cope with raising his sister alone whilst pursuing a life of crime to help him fund it. The main message of the film unsurprisingly given the title is that everyone is a victim in some way. It does raise some interesting questions though it's message that sometimes crime is the only way doesn't sit easily with me. It's grim setting is perfect for the tone of the film. The script is a bit uneven and the relationship between the two main characters is somewhat underplayed and flimsy. However the story moves along at a quick pace and there is more than enough to keep your interest during it's short running time. The film really succeeds due to a charismatic performance by Ashley Chin as Tyson. The rest of the performances from a largely inexperienced cast are pretty mixed but there are no awful performances. There are a few violent scenes but nothing too bad and there are a few well thought out scenes. Many films fail on there ending but this one did succeed for me, being both unexpected and poignant. Overall, once I got past the first 15 minutes, I did enjoy this film and found it to be a worthwhile effort. Worth watching if you're in the mood for some grim drama.
pfs-smith i watched this film with no expectations - other than an attraction to the gritty London setting and a willingness to give a no-name British film a chance - and no reference points because of the internet's total ignorationis it complex? is it well acted? is it well scripted? well probably notis it worth watching? yesit isn't "wild bill" which i watched for exactly the same reasons and in exactly the same circumstances, but it's certainly worth watching. i didn't feel there was enough back-story to the character "Mia" but the other main characters were utterly believable archetypes (NOT stereotypes) and i applaud it
Rich Wright The biggest shock of my weekend was finding out this production didn't star anyone from Hollyoaks. There is nothing here to suggest the 'stars' could tackle anything more taxing than a toothpaste commercial. It is also highly amusing to note the director's desperate attempts at urban authenticity, with loads of street slang, f-words and yoof tunes on the soundtrack at every given opportunity. Shame he made such a pigs ear of everything else.It's a very earnest effort at making a teen British drama, and the moral about wasting your life committing crimes rather than getting an education is a good one. Tragically, this lesson is delivered in a scene which is more likely to elicit laughs then get the audience thinking, and against a backdrop of tedious black stereotypes swearing at each other and behaving like a bunch of morons, you're far more likely to be reaching for the OFF switch then learning how to better yourself.Actually, I've got something to teach you... DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE. IT'S RUBBISH. There you go. I'll even write it on a bit of card for you. Aren't I nice? 2/10
ILYRiCaL I watched this movie with low expectations, but i was surprisingly glued to the screen through the entire movie.As for the acting, i did not feel like it could be any better. As for the storyline, its good, and will throw in some surprises for you..Basically a story of a young guy who has had to take care of his little sister since he was 16, because his no-good mother left them. He turned to crime, to be able to take care of his little sister. But as others had been victims to his crimes, so was he. A story of how we can all be victims... Watch it, its much better than most of you think.
