The Estate

I really thought that British cinema had reached an all time low when Danny Dyer started pumping out around 300 movies a year... that was until I saw this waste of film.

With virtually no plot, terrible acting and even worse camera work this is a movie that would make even Uwe Boll cringe. Featuring cameos from various true life "gangsters" the story is supposed to focus on Ronnie, a youth who descends in to the seedy world of violence and drugs. However it soon dismisses this plot for a seemingly never-ending stream of swear words (that are supposed to add to the "grittiness" of this movie....Honestly, I've had grittier water) and chest thrusting between rival Hoodie gangs. The phrase "yeah come on then, you want some?" was uttered so many times I honestly felt that was the only thing the script writer actually wrote and, my friends, that sums up this movie in a nutshell. It's an hour and a half of not much at all. In fact, on closer inspection it seems like it's trying to come across as a poor man's "This Is England" only set in modern times.

If you have an hour and a half to spare I suggest you find something else to do because after watching this you'll be tempted to contact the makers and demand those 90 minutes back.

I would only watch the whole movie if I was paid a grand to undergo the pain. I can only review the first ten minutes...that's how long I lasted under extreme torture. Ten of the longest minutes of my life.

Please do not bother to waste your time or money on something so bad it should never have been made. Even if you are given it free with a payment for watching it, it will be the hardest work you will ever undertake. It makes Danny Dyer look like a thespian, it makes grandad's super 8 home movies look professional.

I hope the people who made this abomination go and get proper jobs that reflect their non existent talents. Please don't disgrace the DVD industry by attempting more of this rubbish.

The film has more bad language than anything I have ever, EVER seen in my life. My brain was frazzled and my ears were ringing after the amount of F-Bombs dropped in only 89 minutes. (381 to be exact! With many other foul, vulgar expletives, including racist remarks) I've never watched a film were not 1 long, intelligent word was uttered. All the youngsters must have extremely limited vocabularies. Hard to believe that living and growing up in England all my life, that ALL young people cuss, swear, & curse EVERY SINGLE DAY like It's absolutely NOTHING. I heard if you swear in the USA that you can get in pretty deep trouble. I did walk into a shopping mall in Huddersfield and there was a censored sticker literally reading: "No effing & jeffing" Maybe they should be more strict & robust about bad language in this country. There is 1 plus I can take from this film. It's the most realistic British film I've ever seen barring "This Is England" & Gary Oldman's 1997 Movie/Film drama called "Nil By Mouth" There's no plot or story to this film @ all. The camera men were also seriously amateurs. Worst camera work ever. One last thing, give me some earplugs please.

I don't understand peeps negative comments, some of you have never been on an estate let alone walked through one, the portrayal is real.

This film might have not had a major budget but its shows gangs, drugs, corrupt police, and crime this is all relevant today and the film maker did a good job bringing it all to the surface,

I also like the way the film focuses on the people who live on the estate, Elderly people never really get represented in movies nowadays, so well done for focusing on what they experience on a day to day basis.

Good film!

ticks the box for me Geez

the film was terrible the story was all over the place and it was really low budgeted i mean i like how British films are low budgeted i think it shows more realism. but this was too low budgeted, i dunno i was expecting more of a football factory, dead man shoes kind of filming to it but it wasn't it was more get a group of people together to make a film with a digital camera lol. Now ill talk about the story line its basically on an estate in London where there's a lot of gangs and crimes going on and basically goes from on story line to the next for example there's a girl who ends up taking drugs and becoming a prostitute, there's a guy who beats on a lads mum,there's corrupt coppers that kinda thing but i just thought it was all over the place. so finally i don't rate this film at all I've seen a lot of good British films and this ain't one of em.
