The Bezonians

This is a poor man's lock stock, can see trying to replicate but it lacks the acting, story and the music soundtrack. As others have said many scenes with no relevance to story, almost like scenes were dropped on the floor and put in order of pick up.

Vinnie does not appear that much so do not expect the classic vinnie villain from previous films, they could really have got anyone in.

Narrating is good and needed, possibly needed a bit more grit ala lock stock as more towards reading a bedtime story but it keeps you informed on the random screen happenings.

All in all its not dire, watchable if bored.

Story elements with potential but overacting, excessive character "development" via narration, lingering on boring shots and oddly long scenes makes it unexciting as well as predictable. Not the worst movie I've seen lately but not one I'd recommend.

In the current climate of mediocre big budget tripe this is a refreshing watch . Sit back and enjoy some brilliant dialogue . Shades of Ritchie direction .

What is this...??? Poor story telling, poor acting, the Cypriot community would be appalled by this pathetic script. The Director/Writer needs to step away from his duties. The acting was laughable, some of the long scenes seriously made no sense. I cant believe Vinnie Jones accepted his cameo role regardless of the film billed like he was the main actor... clever marketing having his face front the film. Every single actor cant be blamed as my god this was shot so poorly, scenes were too long and irrelevant, all cuts were too mind numbly long. I found all characters to be annoying and truly agitating. These good reviews are no doubt created by friends and even his production team. HOW WAS THIS FILM EVER FUNDED!?!

The film then swings back in time to show us why he's being advised to run from this particular hitman. And for about half an hour we get to meet the regulars at Plato's club, The Bezonians, a gathering place for London's Greek community. There's Plato's wife Helena (Marina Sirtis, 5th Passenger, Star Trek: The Next Generation), local legend Achilles (Savvas D. Michael, Smoking Guns, Original Gangster), badass Costas (Peter Polycarpou), Taz (Jason Duff, Red Devil) who resells weed from Plato, Mavro Mike (Chris Tummings, Water, Deadmeat), Anthony (Jamie Crew, Villain) who is somewhat mentally challenged and a few others. They spend their time hanging out, partying with the strippers, and scheming about how to make it big.
