Gritty

Not your usual lovable cockney geezer gangster film, this is far more realistic and gritty.

Great performances by Jamie Foreman, Dexter Fletcher, Gordon Alexander, with Gary Stretch, tattooed and minus teeth, and Gemma Atkinson in a fleece! Go figure.

Story just about hangs together and should keep even those with the attention span of a goldfish interested till the end.

BlueRay picture is lush but there are not enough extras which means marks lost out of 10.

Makes a change from the normal wide boy gangster films out there.

Underrated British gangster flick, excellent cast!!

Not sure why it's only rated at a 5 on imdb not everything has to be guy ritchie!! It had a great villian, great supporting gang and an excellent heroe...did o miss something?? Ok the ending was a little fast andxweak thus the 8 but a 5?? Ignore the petty critics it's an excellent action crime gangster movie. Oh....I purchased the 3d bluray and glad I did!! Thanks Amazon!!!!

Gangster movie with a twist

A friend invited me to watch this. Not a fan of "just about gangsters" films, I was impressed by the depth of the plot. Freddie Connor, Dexter Fletcher, Jamie Forman, Zoe Tapper brought it to life with masterful acting. There's a real story here of hard times and loyalty. The directing and production and score were first rate. This film has garnered a lot of attention but it deserves even more! A really first rate film.

Good old fashioned bit of Brit violence!

I really enjoyed this. It's the sort of film that puts you right into the lives of the characters very quickly, and keeps you down there in amongst the filth and the brutality the whole way through.

Some of the dialogue was a little clunky, but the production value was spot on and the story itself moved at a great pace. It also had some top notch British acting talent in the cast which doesn't hurt for this sort of thing. Dexter Fletcher and Jamie Foreman were along for the ride and were brilliant as always doing their (tried and tested) gangster thing.

In terms of originality, the film isn't going to blow any minds, but as for a good old fashioned yarn about a man struggling with a life spiraling out of control it ticks all the boxes. Well worth a look...

A dragged out lame-fest :/

Wasted my time with this film tonight, all of the acting was superb with the exception of the main character. Yes, obviously that ruins the whole movie because not only does he never really feel believable, the writer doesn't ever throw you a bone to make up for it -_- The Director and film crew along with a pretty good cast give you enough hope to keep watching, wishing and hoping the main character will get it together.... The A/v crew did a great job because it looks like with a low budget they managed to pull of a pretty great production visually. I hope this movie gets redone at some point with a bit of comedy and a better lead role though.
