    Unwatchable rubbish.

    I was hoping for something with a bit more depth, something that looks at his life objectively and independently, a warts and all account of his deprived violent life. However all we got was the ramblings of a mentally unwell man. There is no doubt that he was a dangerous individual but all this is his own view of his own 'gangster' lifestyle with the added comments from his sycophantic and psychopathic friends. This is nothing but a spent force desperately trying to chest beat his way back into the lime light.

    His pathetic attempt to justify his life were comical, insincere and sickening. Painting himself as a victim at times is pitiful and ultimately makes himself look like a fool, a pathetic old man who is pure evil.

    What really makes this unwatchable is the lack of production values, the camerawork was vomit inducing, shaking, panning erratically and zooming in and out just shows a lack of skill. It's beyond amateur. The only thing that matches the visual atrocity is the audio, not sure what they recoded this on but it was cheap, the audio is pathetic and difficult to suffer.

    I am guessing 99% of this films budget was spent down 'the boozer' as it wasn't spent on this vacuous effort.

    Avoid at all costs.
