I watched the Q and A with the director and Andre after and they both seem nice guys who had genuinely good intentions with this film, the fact that no one told them or whilst being in Jamaica, a place and culture he loved, why he'd not notice how poorly he represented it. Speaks about being honoured to film in locations hidden from the public (£35 for a bus tour)
The film is porn style acting and even worse camera work, I like Jamie Lomas from hollyoaks but what was he thinking, trying to be some delinquent chav, the characters were awful, the dialogue was awful, it's like they edited in the wrong scenes, some things that are said might be an attempt at a joke, but they come across as confusing and imbecilic.
Andre can't act, the ending again was one of the dumbest in cinema history, the plot holes were outstanding, I mean anyone notice tattoos? But there are scenes when things happen ( and don't get me wrong I love stupid humour and spoof etc) where you just can't understand why they think it's working. I get you have a story but it has to atleast make a bit of sense.
I'm not Jamaican or someone who's ever offended as I hate snowflakes but this film is needless and bizarrely cast, if Andre was a comic genius then fine but if you're going full pelt to do everything but black face you should have a good cast.
It's a shame the director genuinely looked passionate about stuff but also said Andre smashed every scene, they couldn't even get a grandma who could act. This was so low budget, so blatantly provocative that it should never see the light of day. At best it's a £3 straight to DVD.
