Baseline

I watched this movie on the recommendation of a friend. This is not normally my type of movie, I don't even like the "Bourne" movies, or movies with violence and non-stop chase scenes. In most cases I would have stopped watching this in the first five minutes, but stuck with it because of my friend's recommendation. After I got in to the characters I really felt like I wanted to stick with it to the end of find out what happened to them all. Great character development !

Not sure why it's only rated at a 5 on imdb not everything has to be guy ritchie!! It had a great villian, great supporting gang and an excellent heroe...did o miss something?? Ok the ending was a little fast andxweak thus the 8 but a 5?? Ignore the petty critics it's an excellent action crime gangster movie. Oh....I purchased the 3d bluray and glad I did!! Thanks Amazon!!!!

Considering is not exactly a Guy Ritchie gangster movie and kept me awake till 2am it was alright, good to watch if nothing more interesting on tv.

Not your usual lovable cockney geezer gangster film, this is far more realistic and gritty.

Great performances by Jamie Foreman, Dexter Fletcher, Gordon Alexander, with Gary Stretch, tattooed and minus teeth, and Gemma Atkinson in a fleece! Go figure.

Story just about hangs together and should keep even those with the attention span of a goldfish interested till the end.

BlueRay picture is lush but there are not enough extras which means marks lost out of 10.

Makes a change from the normal wide boy gangster films out there.

Cinematic thug titans, and all-round Gangster movie mavens, the diabolically dashing duo of Dexter Fletcher and effortlessly skeezey Jamie Foreman make for a right pair of dodgy geezers in the competently made, delightfully gritty, well 'ard East End Gangster thriller 'Baseline'. Darkly set within the increasingly volatile environs of a busy, drug-saturated club, where on one especially fateful night it all goes Pete Tong for tall, handsome, straight-edged bouncer Danny (Freddie Connor) who bravely prevents an assassination attempt on his supremely villainous boss Terry (Jamie Foreman) which unforeseeably draws him inexorably into Terry's cruelly brutal regime of nefarious drug dealings, and gruesome gangland killings he is ill suited for, but when he is forced to betray his wayward, trouble-seeking friend Paul (Gordon Alexander) Danny very soon finds himself up to his aquiline jaw in the most terrible misfortune! 'Baseline' ostensibly mines the same B-Movie bad-boy, hyped-up hooligan shtick as Tamer Hassan, and 'Double Diamond' Danny Dyer, with its druggy dance-floor dust-ups, bungled rude boy drug deals, seriously sketchy shenanigans, bloody-knuckled retribution, well narky, hot-blooded Bruv Vs. Bruv action, crepuscular warehouse wickedness, and a bangin' finale, this has got some righteously good stuff goin' on, mayte! And while 'Baseline' isn't quite up there with 'Rise of the Footsoldier' (2007), or the criminally underrated 'St. Georges Day' (2012), it's most certainly worth a go if ya' think ya' hard enough, mayte!!!!
