Dangerous Mind of a Hooligan

i personally loved the movie however it is more of a guilty pleasure as i can tell it isn't a 'good' movie on technical terms however i did find it amusing.I do not believe it is at all representative, realistic or possible i did find in extremely entertaining it was more of a guilty pleasure watch and there is some good British humor in there (sorry yanks you just wont understand). its funny violent and just a 'lads' movie to watch with a pizza.

the 2 real negative comment i have is you can tell its a low budget movie what is disappointing as i fully believe with the right backing had potential to be great but my biggest criticism is i thought the movie was going to be about football hooliganism and the 'barmy army' but i think there might have been one reference to football throughout the whole movie which severely disappointed me

This is obviously evident, or evidently obvious that this crap from UK is a pure example of the new kind of British crime film industry and highly inspired from the early Quentin Tarantino's features. The new wave of the crime films that we find by batches since two decades now. Movies each one of them worst than the other, a sort of rivalry in crap, garbage race. The worst is not the lack of budget but the pretentious style, with complex stories used as decoys for the audience to forget the total dullness of those forgettable features. You may also find some HEAT inspiration too, especially during the heist sequence. I don't think that any one could be able to summarize correctly this non sense tale, this absurd corny film. This movie is although not the bottom of the garbage can. I have seen far far worse than this one. This kind of stuff could never be released in France, even straight to DVD releases. No way at all, no chance. Funny that the marksman character looks like Quentin Tarantino. Ha ha ha...

What a waste of time, well 25 minuets! Actually i only got about 25 minuets in, and that was because i wanted to see if it could get any better! which just added to the disappointment! You don't even need to see it through to the end to see where it's going..

Although I didn't bother waiting to find out where it went so i could be completely wrong about where it was going! But i didn't have 82 minuets to waste frankly.

Personally if you've got nothing else to do and like to watch a mediocre British gangster/psychopath killer/??? type film then I'd recommend taking up reading!!!

Sigh, another low budget British gangster flick... if there were a handful of good ones, I'd have been more keen when sitting down, but at least I didn't have high hopes to be dashed.

And it's for the best, because the direction was confused, as - lacking a decent script and/or interesting characters - we got some arty shots mixed in with the some others used over and over, and cheap locations that really failed to make the actual bank job the film's all about, believable.

For some reason, a security guard has a gun (I don't know what banks the producers visit in England, if this seemed realistic) and the back-stories of each character were badly put together and not even remotely engaging. In fact, I'd say that the best character died first (well, okay, second), and where I wrote above that the acting was good, I was obviously neglecting the really CRAP cop who hunts the group of robbers down.

With 1,000s of films on Sky where this is presently playing, you didn't have any reason to watch this anyway, so just flick over to something else.

Review: I thought that this movie was going to be about football hooligans, but it's got nothing to do with football at all. Basically it's about a group of group of men who rob a bank and then go on the run from the law, taking a hostage with them. It's not your typical violent, cockney British gangster movie because the bunch of criminals really haven't got a clue about how there going to get away. It some ways it's a watchable comedy, but then the storyline gets interesting when the twists and turns of each individual situation comes into play. The acting is pretty average along with the storyline, but it's not as bad as a lot of British gangster movies that I have seen lately. Not Bad!

Round-Up: There are some recognisable faces in the movie, but there not A-listers. I can't see how this movie fits into the other films in this franchise and I thought that the ending could have been a bit better. I didn't have high expectations for the film so I wasn't totally disappointed, if anything, I was surprised that the director concentrated on the wit and the script more than the violence, sex and drugs, like many other movies in this genre. In all, it's a short movie which you end up sticking with, just to see how the story unfolds.

Budget: $3million Worldwide Gross: N/A

I recommend this movie to people who are into there heist movies about a group of bank robbers on the run. 3/10
