The Intent

I really don't know how this film got such a high score?! Normally IMDb scores reflect the quality of the film but in this case I'm not so sure. One of the other films where IMDb is way out is Chappie- a complete load of rubbish! Was really looking forward after reading reviews and watching trailer but it wasn't long before I didn't have a clue who was who and what was going on! I love gritty Brit films especially crime/gang related but this fell way short of expectations, a real let down. If you're a little bored maybe watch, but don't expect it to reflect the high rating. The acting is not great, the storyline maybe acceptable but it just doesn't seem to work.

Sat home innit. Board, heard of this title through a homie. WHAT!!! This was supposed to be a gritty film not a playschool/jackanory title. Seriously..Whoever gave it some high ratings must either be deluded or high on calpol. I agree with the other reviews. Only waste your time if you want to loose an hour or so of your life. I turned it off after around 54 mins. That was 53 mins too long.Some of the tunes were OK. The wardrobe was OK in places.Make up well they did a good job on the boys. The idea was clique been there, done it and I have the t-shirt. The camera work and pull were decent enough as was the Directing but it was wasted on the story or lack of and as I say the wooden acting the director can only do SO much. You can lead a horse to water...

Everything is bad. Throw the whole movie away.....

Good intentions do not always make a good movie. The action part of the movie does sort of work. They also know how to cut/edit effectively. But one of the major issues the movies has is its characters/actors. While I don't want to be to quick to judge the actors based on one performance, it is safe to say that the script does not give them anything or rather really much to play with and develop a character.

It feels like they knew what they wanted to do and the characters do feel "real", but they are not accessible to the viewer. So it is a shame and almost a waste. The movie might have had more potential if it took more notes from the movies it does try to copy.

Everything that the two writers make is AWFUL. Who keeps funding these two?

Bad writing. Bad plot. Bad dialogue. Bad acting.

Embarrassing. And Femi keeps talking about a part 2. He's delusional. Usually the first film has to be good to warrant a part 2.
