The Bezonians

What is this...??? Poor story telling, poor acting, the Cypriot community would be appalled by this pathetic script. The Director/Writer needs to step away from his duties. The acting was laughable, some of the long scenes seriously made no sense. I cant believe Vinnie Jones accepted his cameo role regardless of the film billed like he was the main actor... clever marketing having his face front the film. Every single actor cant be blamed as my god this was shot so poorly, scenes were too long and irrelevant, all cuts were too mind numbly long. I found all characters to be annoying and truly agitating. These good reviews are no doubt created by friends and even his production team. HOW WAS THIS FILM EVER FUNDED!?!

From the outset this movie will remind you that you've seen it all before. It rips off Tarantino and Ritchie as best as it can without the A List talent. And that's it's problem. With a bit of imagination the director/writer could have put his own spin on the now 20 year old genre, but instead he chooses to rip off the narration style of Snatch. The freeze frame mid action shots of Guy Ritchie and even has a scene early on in a car where the two actors gave a completely unrelated iniquitous conversation about who's a better actor, Pacino or DeNero. What he fails to understand is that Ritchie and Tarantino gave us these styles. To copy them in a similar way is just not good enough. What we are left with is a film that's over written, over acted and over stylised without the budget. The Bezonians club is like an Elephant and Castle cab office from 1970s. It's so small. The characters are more annoying than interesting and you feel like the main guy is just reading pages of dialogue most of the way through. He's Dialling in his narration. It's the difference between learning your lines and thinking about your delivery and using autocue. It's why actors don't use dummy boards off camera. So the film isn't awful. It's just mehhhhhhh. My advice to the director and writer is... do something of your own. The script isn't bad, it's just old. Bring something new to the party.

In the current climate of mediocre big budget tripe this is a refreshing watch . Sit back and enjoy some brilliant dialogue . Shades of Ritchie direction .

Really enjoying films by this director, same director from smokin guns. Really loved watching the actor who played Plato, reminded me of Al Pacino. It was kind of like the Greek version of Goodfellas, some classic scenes especially the debate on who's the best actor, Pacino or De Niro. A proper lads film, sex, violence & humour. If you're a fan of lock stock here's another British classic.

A very good british film. A beautifully shot movie with outstanding soundtrack that really helps the movie. This film is characther based and it has some really strong performances. Overall I would have no problem recommending this film and look forward to Savvas D michaels next movie.
