Gunned Down

Always been a huge gangster movie fan and even more so British gangster movies but like the horror genre it has become very hard to find a good one,

Kept seeing this pop up on Netflix but didn't know anything about it other than it starred a couple of good British actors so thought I'd give it ago,

Right from the start I was into it, it had all the DNA to make a great movie and to be honest it's a really good solid movie and I'd recommend it to any crime movie fan,

Craig Fairbrass and Nick Moran nailed it for me, Fairbrass pulling off the hard-man role he has nailed so many times in the past and Nick Moran returning to he's character in Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels only this time he is an old school dodgy looking police officer.

This was Mark McQueen's second major film he directed, and he did an amazing job once again. This is an action packed low budget U.K. flick with great cinematography and editing. It's nothing great, but it is fun.

Writer and lead actor Craig Fairbrass kicks some as* in both his screenplay and his acting.

Sure the story has been done before many times, but I can never get bored of this type of U.K. action flick, especially as a low budget entry into this genre.

Rating this film on its merits and as a B-type low budget film, it's a fun 8/10 from me.

Great performances by Craig Fairbrass, James Cosmo and Nick Moran. Dark back story that drives this gem along with some lovely twists and turns.

Gritty and Surprisingly Emotional - This movie isn't just another action flick. It's got heart, grit, and a story that makes you care. The action is intense and feels grounded, but it's the emotion behind it all that really hits hard.

This movie hits all the right notes. The action is brutal, the story's emotional, and the whole thing feels real. You actually care about what's happening, which makes the fights even better.

The characters are flawed but relatable, and the stakes feel personal, which makes everything more impactful. Even the slower parts don't feel like filler-they give you time to connect with the story and the people in it. By the time the credits roll, you're left thinking about what you just watched. It's raw, real, and totally worth checking out.

I quite enjoyed this Brit gangster flick, some well known actors and a believable story line. I get the feeling that some people out there won't like a film unless it has a bond like budget and all celebrity A listers. This film hits the mark and is worth a rental or purchase, story line was good, twists and turns kept you guessing; I've seen a lot worse. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed!
