6/10 "TRue To LiFe TaLe oF GRoWiNG up!"

Good to see taht British Film is getting out of the 'Lock, Stock' genre, but the film is still centred around East End devlish deeds, drugs, and crime.

The story is about a group of friends, two of them being the most popular and attractive, and one being the negative. The story follows the boy's eventual rise into east end villian society and how his other friend's actions slowly begin to break downhis life, unless drastic action is taken.

The film definately hits the good charts, but it's nothing that could stand upto TRAINSPOTTING or PULP FICTION. Not one for the yanks, but would definately be worth a watch for Brits. Give it a try

Good film, probably only for the English though...

I think it'd be hard for anyone from another country to relate to this film...which would in turn make it quite hard to enjoy it... It doesn't pull its punches - to be honest it was kind of strange...I grew up with kids like the ones in this film, and it was like a flashback in a way.

This film isn't an epic, it's not a world-changer...it's just like a snapshot...a glimpse into their world. It's hard to explain...

It's worth a look in - I just happened to be staying up late and it came on cable...started watching it and carried on...

Maybe go rent it if it's in your local video store.

Sorry this review isn't more eloquent - my mind's still on the film.

Worth Watching

One of Nick Love's earlier films (his second i think) and I enjoyed it a lot.

The main story revolves around two boys who live on a east London estate and basically shows them getting drawn into the life of crime and drugs and what this can do to you. A lot of the filming is done on a real estate in Bermondsey, South London. Which i feel adds to the reality of the film. It gives a somewhat alarming account and insight into what life is like living in this estates around south London.

It is not in the same league as the likes of Trainspotting or The Full Monty which are both classic British films and are international recognised. but is still definitely worth watching.

Overall a good, enjoyable film. Give it a go.

Strangely OK

This was a weird film with 4 ex-Eastenders stars. Watching it felt like I had started watching a soap opera that was already going. There's no discernible beginning, middle or end to it. You just join the characters with the no real insight into them, plenty of plots develop, but the disappear without trace and the end only really resolves some of the plot. I had the feeling that if I tuned in next week to the next episodes or maybe watched a sequel everything else will be sorted out. There was slightly an over emphasis on the drugs scene and certainly excessive swearing. But despite all that it kept me on the edge of my seat throughout, had some good characters & acting. The vicar in Eastenders played the gangster villain brilliantly & convincingly in a role I'd like to see him in again and I'd certainly recommend catching this if it's on.

A low 7/10

Lively but familiar

Nick Love's sparky début tells the story of two lads growing up on a rough south London housing estate (possibly Thamesmead?). On the brink of a life of petty crime, their close friendship is threatened by the immaturity of one, and the other's lack of commitment to life on the edge, and the film follows the course of their inevitable divergence. The movie's strengths include a lively pace and a capacity to make you feel sympathy for its characters, in spite of their frequently antisocial behaviour. Equally, however, there's not a lot on show here that you won't have seen before, and the ending, which conjures an upbeat note where logically there should be tragedy, lacked (for me, at least) the emotional power I think it was supposed to convey. This isn't a truly great film; but neither is it a movie without promise.

When Charlie and Justin attend Hector's party, they are seen taking the Central Line out into Essex, where Hector's mansion is supposedly located. They get off the train at Debden Station and are seen coming out of the main entrance and walking down the street. This scene was actually not filmed at Debden Station but at Ickenham Station, which is on the Metropolitan/Picadilly Line (as opposed to the Central) and in Middlesex (not Essex), which is on the other side of London, to the West rather than the East. Director Nick Love superimposed the word "Debden" over the "Ickenham" section of the sign, though quite why he chose to shoot the scene at Ickenham instead of Debden remains unclear. Ironically, it's unlikely that the boys would have used Debden to get to a house like Hector's anyway - if the house was supposedly in that part of Essex, it would have been more likely to have been somewhere like Chigwell.
