Smoking Guns

Absolutely awful.

Terrible acting.

Terrible script.

Terrible plot.

Terrible film.

Why was Dexter Fletcher in it?

Why did someone agree to make it?

I really liked this film. Some of the characters are a little stereotypical but on the whole this story is good. Not an action movie but a good buddy call with a couple of genuine characters. Love that it never moves away from the main scenes and is just engaging.

No spoilers but the finale of this film just didn't pay off for me. All the worse because pacing is slow. I would have suggested speed watching it to take in the events and the general gist with your finger on the fast forward but the pay off for time invested is just not there even for a quick tour. A shame as some good characters and some good moments hence the four stars. But it's just too thin and slow throughout and the final payoff is poor and cliched.

The cast were well selected, loved seeing some new faces also. I have seen a few films at this years East London Film Fest and have to give A Punters Prayer 10/10. I'm looking forward to seeing Tommy O'neil Playing more rolls in the future, he came across as a natural! There's some humour in the film which came across real and organic from the well selected personalities. The movie is intense with a real look into the bookie culture in London, I suppose a big lesson to avoid these money grabbing bookmakers. I noticed the films location is in Palmers Green and there were a few shots that really brought in the feel of suburbia London. Have to big up savvas demichel WOW

There's something about this indie flick that appeals to me, maybe it's my longing for the good old days when I lived in London and use to know characters just like the ones presented here, off the wall, funny and in your face with a sense of the devil may care attitude. I also get the humour, which helps. But there's also a freshness about the whole approach, the very good acting, especially by the young rising star Tommy O'Neill, the directing, etc. The swearing is a bit strong but then again I've heard worse growing up in North London. I am giving this 10 stars because I appreciate the brilliant effort from the cast and crew and wish them all well going forward.
