Genuinely Decent Film!

Fortunately I watched this movie before scanning through any of the reviews on here as some are way off the mark, even ridiculously so. Iv never left a review on here before, hopefully that's ok with some people on here lol. I was totally taken in by this film, maybe it just caught me at the right time. I enjoy these types of films anyway (low budget dramas) over the Hollywood blockbuster types of films, I was quite stunned to learn this film had no budget and was using non actors which is fairly remarkable considering what they put together. For what it is worth my suggestion would be to just give it a go and watch it!

Excellent Film

I didn't quite know what to expect as I had heard it was an amateur production but was pleasantly surprised. I felt I was actually in the film it was so realistic!

Ticked a lot of the boxes for me

I love indie films, particularly British ones and this one ticked a lot of the boxes for me. Everything is very well measured, it keeps you guessing (think that's the point of the film), the dark humour at times is hysterical, the non actors at times are superb, amazing score music (I could listen to by itself). I have watched it a couple of times now and I always discover something new about it. It does take a while to get going in some areas but I'm totally fine with that, while others may be in a rush while watching a movie (which is not how to watch a movie). I won't give it a ten out of ten because no film is 100% perfect but as far as low to no budget films go this is pretty close.

Gritty, well researched, Great British Indie film

Mark's back story is gradually revealed. A somewhat dark journey but cleverly lifted with 'site banter'. Unlikely to be the ending you might expect.

Great film

Attaching film but still with light-hearted humour Realistic to the everyday tradesmen and the struggles out there Love the film and would recommend to many.
