Strangeways Here We Come

I know the area this was filmed in very well, and the filmmakers got it down to a tee.

This isn't a film for all, with drug taking being a major part of it, a little violence, but it hits the spot so often with its comedy, I laughed out loud quite a few times.

All the actors involved give it their all, and appear to be having a blast.

The storyline is fresh and unique, I didn't see where it was heading until quite a way in.

Knocked a few points off as there was a part near the end that just didn't make sense or ring true, and this spoilt the ending of the film a little for me.

If you're broadminded though, I'd recommend a viewing of this, and if you live in Pendleton, you must see it!

Yes its daft, its a comedy after all, but its funny with great characters. I'm not sure why it's got such bad ratings. Enjoyable British comedy for fans of Shameless. Give it a go.

It is what it is, daft comedy that fills 90 minutes.

Easy to watch, yes predictable but that doesn't mean it's not entertaining.

Great characters make the story funny.

A funny film in places, if you like black comedy, British trailer trash like Shameless, you will like this

Strangeways Here We Come.

A group of oppressed Manchester scallies in a high rise, rise up to get their own back on the loan shark whose been making all their life's a misery. Featuring a b list of soap actors and would be comics, it's a poor attempt at either social realism of a comedy. Films that cater to drug taking audience always come across awkward and embarrassing, like living in this level of destitute of poverty is a right laugh NOT Filmed around Salford, the boys club features prominently, alas that where The Smiths comparisons end there. I'd love to have heard a snippet of The Smiths or Morrissey. It's a shocker, but in its defence, I did want to see how the film ended mainly to see if it improved..,,,
