Gatwick Gangsters

I knew this was going to be a stinker going in, but I just love me some zero budget British rubbish. It was a lot worse. The plot is just all over the place. Everyone is backstabbing, kidnapping everyone, killing people. God knows who is who and who is currently feeding with who. The thing is ugly as sin too. The editing is probably the worst thing ever. There's this fake lense flare filter that is put over every scene that looks like no lense flare that has ever flared ever. Willie Thorne, the old snooker player, is some kind of drug dealer. There's darts players in this too and of course Dave Cortney. Atrocious.

If that lensflare isn't enough though, would you prefer day for night? It comes in the wonderful colors of brown and purple and is around for most of the movie. The whole movie is just seriously ugly.

But honestly... I barely even can call this a movie, because there is just no way to understand it. Here's one scene, there's the next, and another one, but nothing is connected. They seemingly jump through times and places and the best you sometimes get is a subtitle telling me about a person we are about to meet. And later these subtitles also get subtitles, telling us what is supposed to happen, but even that doesn't help.

Hilarious movie I think it was badly made. Can't believe I paid money for it.

What I could make out of the story is, that our director/lead Shampagne is a badass mafia woman, who gets kidnapped at least ten times (not even joking), just to get rescued right away again. There are evil arabs, that work with the russians (?) to get an atomic bomb, which is just made out of a barbecue grill. There is also the Mi6 (the movie writes it that way), trying to solve all these problems. I was just so confused by what the movie offered, that I couldn't stop to laugh anymore and everything boiled over around the middle of the movie. Suddenly a guy with a spider-haircut appeared and I laughed so hard, that I started to cry. I couldn't control myself anymore. Barely could breathe. And I completely loved it.

Sally Clack is a true dreamweaver, Gatwick Gangsters is a masterpiece in storytelling. A lot of "film makers" talk big about breaking rules and boundaries...but when it comes to the crunch they're exposed as the cowards they are. Sally (aka Shampagne tm) on the other hand breaks all film making rules with a strength of character and the result is an FULL FORCE explosion of cinematic majesty! The performances in this film are exceptionally strong with an all star cast (Dave Courtney, Willie Thorne, Gary Bushell to name but a few). The storyline is gripping from start to finish and the violence is NON-STOP! This is a must have for any collector.
