Smoking Guns

I love a gangster film I've seen most of what's available on Netflix, prime and other streaming channels

Theres not many films where I'm constantly checking how longs left normally the sign of a bad film This is terrible filmed in pretty much one location no real plot the storie never really progresses over someone possibly having a winning triple accumulator bet The characters all seem like poor clones of ones from guy Ritchie's films They even Steal the styled music sections from his films

Don't waste your time watching this rubbish watch snatch or lock stock or rock and rolla again instead.

It's watchable. It's just off putting that the director seems to be trying to emulate Guy Ritchie. But without the same level of skill. The script is kind of amateur, and trying too hard to be something it isn't. I could probably do a similar job and I have no experience. It's basically just an attempt at being Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels but without the charm and wit.

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.

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.
