You're Dead...

I've seen this film at the cinema twice now and it still has it's appeal. It is a typical British 'comedy caper' film similar to Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels. An enjoyable 98 minutes with a good cast portraying some really funny scenes. Catch it if you get the chance to, not a lot of places are showing it. You won't be disappointed.

I haven't laughed in ages so much at a film! No nudity, little violence and profanity, no need to make fund of stereotypical groups (blondes, nerds, etc.). Just a well written and brilliantly acted story.

Those who give it 1-star are either foreign people who did not get the meaning through bad translation or too dense to understand British humour (no offense and if you are offended I don't care).

My advice - if you find this film and you want a good laugh after the daily drudgery, then take the time and watch it.

Geordie Pete turned me onto this film a few months ago. He had a pirate copy from some film geek mate in LA, as usual for Pete it was second generation and the sound was ropey, but he swore it was one of the best films of the nineties. We scoffed, but after a few beers we slapped it on. We p***** ourselves laughing. I looked forward to it's cinema release. I was shocked by the reaction of the british press, it was called "possibly the worst british film ever made" if that's not a recamendation I don't know what is. After suffering through the dreary War Zone which the press loved I don't trust them as far as I could throw them. Yes, it is a heist gone wrong film, I can't get enough of them. It's completley over the top and works perfectly with a crate of beer. Dondadda!!!

You're Dead is an indescribably awful attempt at a British gangster film. It has not got a single original idea in it, being an atrocious copy of various elements of Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, The Usual Suspects and Pulp Fiction. The acting and dialogue are absolutely excruciating, the plot is ludicrous and utterly predictable despite constant attempts at plot twists, and contains nothing but one dimensional stock characters and clichés. It has some good actors in it, but they are off-form, and unable to do anything much with the dreadful material they are working with. It is absolute torture to sit through this drivel.

Theres not much you can really say about this film except that it was crap and probably the worst film i have ever been to see!! Take my advice don't watch this film it just wastes your money and time!!

I gave this film a 1/10 which is doesn't deserve.
