Gunned Down

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

Well i suppose it passed the time while ironing.

Glad I didn't have to pay for it and if your looking for a ending this film leaves more loose ends than sawn off fibre optic cable !

Was ok to watch with a predictable plot that I swear has been done before in other "London Gangster" films .

A shame as it's got some decent actors in it who are bloody good at what they do.

The filling locations are good over in Spain but the film just lacked that big plot line .

And to leave the film open like it does is scandalous, your left asking alot of questions which tbh they could of tied up in ten or 20 mins on the end .

Watch this when you have run out of other stuff to watch.

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.

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.

The overall scheme reminds me Antonia Bird's FACE, from 1997, another gangster flick from UK involving armes robbers, very Professional ones, who pull a major heist in a security complex facility, a sort of money depot destined to armored trucks, as here. A heist which is the prelude to a blood bath between hoodlums. And this one doesn't look like another Guy Ritchie like crap with plenty of black humour or crazy characters or situations. I am sick of this kind of garbage stuff. I crave for brutal, nasty, disturbing noir tales. You also have a kind of HEAT influence, an important one on several scenes between the police and gangsters. And the final part too, very close to Michael Mann's masterpiece. I don't understand the negative comments about this movie. Really. I have seen many amateurish UK crimes movies since a couple of years, corny, bleak, cheesy features, FAR FAR worse than this one, believe me. Craig Fairbass gives here a powerful performance as a rough professional hoodlum; Vinnie Jones - whom I always confound with Craig Fairbrass - too is a new British typical actor for villains or at least badass characters. The same kind of character which Ray Winstone had done ten years earlier in similar topics. But speaking of Guy Ritchie above, this comment is updated now in 2023, and Ritchie has precisely made a crime drama since, in the meantime, starring Jason Statham, and taking place in a security complex - which I denied in 2018, saying Ritchie stuff from which the early 2000's was miles away.... This very brutal, worth fikm is WRATH OF A MAN. So please forgive me Guy...OK?
