The Modern Way

That was s**t.

Unconvincing characters and honestly the worst acting I've ever seen. The one star is generous to be honest.

It was described as 'a gritty British drama'. Gritty!? When you've got 'this is England' to compare the film to its laughable! Laughed through the whole thing. I feel embarrassed for the makers of the film and everyone involved. I've watched episodes of Neighbours that were more gritty than this film.

I guess in a way the director's a genius because it really was spectacularly s**t.

I found this movie to have some exciting moments. The costumes were ok but the mod costumes needed a lot of improvement - the style wasn't on point. Skinhead and biker costumes were good though. It was a nice script from the writer, had a good story and the acting wasn't bad. A few performances were better than others. Soundtrack was banging - got the adrenaline going. What I think they did well here was nail the 1980's with such a low-budget. From the cars, to the clothes, to the set designs - it was nicely executed. I was hoping for a bit more though. If they get a chance to make a second one, I would make it more grittier - include more violence. But for a first film from these guys, they did well.

The acting was so wooden and I've seen better from high school drama clubs. The continuity was awful and they obviously only had budget for one joke! An hour and a half I won't get back!

Shocking acting. Not an ounce of charisma or chemistry between the cast. It reminded me of early Grange Hill acting. Wooden at best.

The fake hair on the 'hero'... Blimey!

The one star I've given is obviously the lowest possible, but I would say it deserves that one star because we had a jolly good laugh every time the characters spoke.

The villain was actually very good, but everyone around him dragged him down.

And the cast aint the most smashy news either, so unless youve been either of the kind of hudlums and villains portraied in this just wihin feature length british drama , you can easily make a pass.

Even though i had an issue with punks in edinbourgh in the late 70's shoving a finger to some walking by the bus i sat on, never even imagining it would stop at the next corner, i had my heart hurdling up my jaws, but faithfully nough the bus drove before the lot caught the bus, never ever after have i shown my fingers to anybody from public transportation.

This is fairly spoken just another semi newie production stuff, the stakes are higher than the means, and its far to much chatter and less action than expected.but it highlights the abuse and powerty issues of great britain in the past very well, so a 4 and a farewell comes from the grumpy old man.
