198 Grand

Rather awful.

The opening few scenes of '198 Grand' are actually, relatively, alright - I felt amused, not because it's anything great but it was more entertaining that I thought it would be. However, that very quickly wore off unfortunately. The longer it went on, the more I was wishing for the end.

There are way too many characters in this, a lot of them are cliché drug-taking, innuendo-filled, gun-wielding London gangsters that you've seen countless times before in these low-budget films. Some, e.g. the main three guys, are minorly funny - the trio do actually work OK together. The ending is underwhelming, even if the outcome is (given the alternatives) a positive one.

I have incredibly seen worse, this gets a mark above the bottom due to its (admittedly poor) comedic side that stops it taking itself too seriously at the very least. I also kinda rate the cover, so there's that.

I love the plot!!! Really good story, it reminds me of a low budget "Lock Stock" pure jokes!! Twists and turns and very entertaining to watch, the 3 actors that carried the story were really good, another brilliant film by writer/director Andy Frith, can't wait to see he's next film!!!

Movie has an interesting plot. Some dark humour and plenty of jokes. Characters are well created. Story told in fast paste.Easy to watch. Would recommend !!! (for adult viewers)
