Stagger

Gangsters Guns Girls Gore

Gangsters Guns Girls Gore well all the main elements are here for the good old British gangster yarn. But never before have we seen a film which offers so much for so little. Truly a stunning film both visually and inspirational from a film makers point of view. Fresh ideas fresh new talented cast to make this gangster film shine so much more than many a tired jaded gangster film that are out on release on this already crowded genera. So street real that the film really did hit home realistic and cold ruthless street thugs. A insight to this dark murky world awesomely cast . Actors played this so well it,s gonna be in my head for some time

well, i saw this on lovefilm so i thought i'd check it out. oh dear. the main guy was terrible!! the blonde girl who played his girlfriend was a joke and looked like they just got someone random girl out of the local pub, and the whole thing didn't make much sense. written in on hour or made up on the spot would be how i'd describe it. very little redeemable qualities. the big guy who comes to the door is good, the other big guy who sells the car is scary and looks like he can actually act. the guy with the long hair is just awkward and looks nervous all the time, although the guy who plays his mate is good and looks like he can actually act judging by his timing and reactions etc. the bald guy is OK but not sure why he's even in it! one or two good performances but largely poor. the directing is laughable! the script is worse.

New film makers on the block making films like this first time round is outstanding good film good story-line great cast all new actors. It shows just how much all the big stars and $10000.000 US films are overpriced and overpaid when a small group of Independent film makers write produce shoot and release a full feature film in the UK with no official funding not only that but it.s a fast paced action film . ( Far surpasses many higher budget gangster films with some nifty blood and gore and some cool stunts ) i for one have never seen a film made so well on this sort of budget in the UK. We will be seeing more from the film makers here in the near future

Gritty says everything but no punches are pulled in this dark Brit Gangster film.Films like this only come out every 10 years or so with realistic street cool performances from young fresh talent working on a small budget the film delivers in heaps with some blow you away scenes mixed with a awesome soundtrack cool car stunts i wonder how ever the guys behind it ever pulled it off. First timer Paul TT Easter ( JAKE STAG ) Excellent performance both dark and a very unbalanced a character as ever seen on screen. Dark and clearly able to dish out evil and torture on those who step on his turf never knowing what or where his complex persona with almost split personality will outburst into rage next or who he will dish it out to next at times very unsettling to watch. Kevin Wilkinson ( KNIGHT ) was excellent as a London Gangster trying to gain control over Stagger for the bigger London Scene. Also on top form ex Boxer Earl Ling ( Rat Shat ) as a used car sales man with some very nasty habits Holly McKeon was very good as ( Emma ) Jakes long time love interest i see faults with this film but it is one of the best indie gangster films to come out of the UK in many years. Read that Shane Meadows was a big influence on the director ( Paul TT Easter )and this can be seen in the clean flowing scenes which are almost like drama-doc in the way it,s shot with uncanny realism.

I really liked this movie but there were quite a lot of moments where I felt distant from the characters and the motivation that they were going for! Cool action sequences tho. 6/10
