Firecracker

OK so it's no Hollywood blockbuster but that's what excellent about it. Gritty and charismatic. Andrew is brilliant and leaves you guessing. Have been a fan since Primeval days which I'm also binge watching on sky right now. The plot is hard and rough and the scenery awesome and the rapport between Jack and Lena is quite dark and sometimes humorous and for Andrews first directing project its throughly engrossing, but then I love indy films esp japanese and french indy film noir. Thoroughly enjoyed, left me on the edge of my seat to the very end, totally recommend. Awesome film thank you all xxx.

This is not normally my cup of tea, however I had to watch this twice there was so much going on the twists the turns fabulously put together and a must see watch.

My daughter who wants to go into film after her studying, was telling me the techniques used during filming (she can be very annoying especially when your trying to watch something) and I was impressed with the detail that went into filming this.

The character development is complex and keeps you pulled into the movie.

Kate Sheridan plays her Character so well, i can't wait to see her Next Movie.

Andrew Potts, has done very well and I am looking forward to the next one.

Lots of action, some laughs and a couple of curve balls in the plot line. The acting was done well, the story was unusual and very creative. I would recommend this movie, good for an evening of good solid entertainment. This movie was nominated for several awards, worth the watch for sure. There are some scenes that have violence, but they aren't gory or over the top if you're squeamish about copious amounts of blood and guts. Firecracker has a nice mix of drama, suspense, unexpected twists. The suspense builds subtly and consistently throughout the movie, we were entertained start to finish. Highly recommended.

Who doesn't like a gritty British crime drama?

Intense drama from Andrew Lee Potts debut Firecracker. Powerful performances and a scene stealing end performance from Katie Sheridan.

Stella cast including Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels Nick Moran and Jason Flemyng.

I could also see this working as a theatre piece with its tense dialogue and close up performances, all taking place within the vicinity of an empty house. Similar to The first 'Saw' movie but with less blood!

Great writing, cinematography and soundtrack and I look forward to seeing what Andrew Lee Potts imagination creates next!

I watched this based on the amount of "Rave Reviews" on IMDB who claimed it to be a 'masterpiece with hidden depths' !

It turned out to be nothing of the sort !

The first 15 minutes show the beginnings of a promising plot with interesting characters and an unusual setting but after that it runs out of steam ! The main scene is an empty house and the secondary scene is an empty shipping container, they spent absolutely nothing on filming locations !

It's reasonably coherent and the level of acting isn't awful but the trouble is these very same actors appear on British TV in small roles quite often but they are never very convincing. They usually just play supporting roles because they don't have much talent so it's unusual to see them in leading roles.

The plot is a fairly simple blackmail/revenge type deal and there are a couple of twists and turns along the way but after about 40 minutes I just couldn't wait for it to reach it's conclusion so we could get to the point !

If you are very bored and have nothing else to do it fills a bit of time but it's barely worth reviewing, I'm only doing this to add a realistic viewpoint !
