Shooters

It's no masterpiece for sure, but arguably the best of the cutting edge series. The use of non actors from the locality, and the improvised dialogue adds depth and realism, to a bleak urban existence that predated The Wire. Them Scousers again.

What a great film. This is made by actual people, not actors, but people who live in Liverpool and are connected to the underworld. Its realness and rawness are evident. These aren't actors, and that realism comes across in the film and makes it unlike any other film I've ever seen, its so real. Don't get me wrong, its not a documentary but a story put together by director Dan Reed and the cast and crew of the film, its very spontaneous and a class bit of work by everyone.

Its a great look at the underworld of Liverpool, and the gang element is typical in fact of any British city or town and the characters are easy to relate to. Great film.

This movie ought to be realistic, almost documental but actually it´s more like a diploma work of a film student with some friends. Dan Reed may have wanted to create something really deep and revealing but no go. Though the characters are colourful and perhaps indeed realistic, there´s not much of context and content to build a full movie on it. Nonetheless it´s worth watching if you lack ideas how to spend time like They do in the movies...

Coming from Liverpool, it was very strange to see and hear the very people you had heard of, who were not to be crossed, acting in a film!

In my opinion it is a very realistic snapshot of the seedier, more murky side of Liverpool, with gangsters and, as the film title suggests, guns.

You wouldn't believe that the actors are actually real people from that seedier world... their performances considering this are superb.

Brilliant film in my opinion, hoping they make another to tie up all the loose ends left from this.

Quality.

Some of the actors in this really made it as good as what it is, some parts of the story wasn't brilliant but the way the actors made it so real and gritty made it so easy to keep watching It really does show how tough northerners are and unfiltered too

If they made a sequel to this now I think it could continue the story really well and maybe bring a new story, this genre is getting bigger these days and maybe even a series could work too

When this film came out there was so many similar films based down south but this was a brilliant version from the north and shows you can make a good gangster film without them all being based down south.
