The Intent

I really don't know how this film got such a high score?! Normally IMDb scores reflect the quality of the film but in this case I'm not so sure. One of the other films where IMDb is way out is Chappie- a complete load of rubbish! Was really looking forward after reading reviews and watching trailer but it wasn't long before I didn't have a clue who was who and what was going on! I love gritty Brit films especially crime/gang related but this fell way short of expectations, a real let down. If you're a little bored maybe watch, but don't expect it to reflect the high rating. The acting is not great, the storyline maybe acceptable but it just doesn't seem to work.

Everything is bad. Throw the whole movie away.....

OK, as mentioned in some reviews, a couple of the actors can actually act, though it seems to be a youth project with no one older than 30 playing in it, except the Maliks and the mother. Particularly implausible was a congregation filled entirely with teenager extras. Some of the soundtrack works, motorbike camera work as well and the tension at the meet in the pool-hall at the end is fairly palpable. As for the rest of it, particularly every scene involving the police - unshaven, with terrible uniforms/wardrobe and a potty-mouthed script every ten words - obviously no member of the Cast and Crew has ever watched an old episode of The Bill, if so, you would have been able to write and deliver a script that had some resemblance of the professionalism of the police force. As for the casting of the Sergeant, Miss Akokhia, well, saving the best for the end. Do not waste your time watching this stereotyping, guttural tosh.

Everything that the two writers make is AWFUL. Who keeps funding these two?

Bad writing. Bad plot. Bad dialogue. Bad acting.

Embarrassing. And Femi keeps talking about a part 2. He's delusional. Usually the first film has to be good to warrant a part 2.

Well as a movie goer and watching films often on netflix, Amazon & Blinkbox i watch films carefully before rating them but i can say this film is way over rated (maybe due to the cast) it is a total waste of time and money,

The film storyline is terrible it seems they have just copied fast furious 1 storyline where undercover police officer becomes apart of a heist gang and eventually the gang becomes aware of his identity, its a total mess, the story has no excitement to it and it seems like a bunch of uni students decided to make this film! i was expecting a real raw hard hitting drama but all fell apart when the film opens up with really bad narration! and scene too scene is just a total mess, the characters are just so boring you don't feel for anyone you don't care if they live or die, i was just like when will this end!!!

The acting was disgusting i cannot even remember the name of the characters!! they were really unrealistic names, i remember watching the lead actor a few years ago in another film which his acting was decent but not seen him since an this just shows why he hasn't done nothing in years! I also remember watching top boy and i can say the actor in that was really good but here his OK nothing special the same role given gang member, thug, drugs etc cant see these doing anything different with their acting careers

The Direction & Writing was terrible, i heard the producers & Directors had acted also in this! another desperate attempt of filmmakers wanting fame thirst.....

I can say the violence was decent

The production value seems low, locations settings were really low grade especially when characters are stealing 100k from crappy locations....

And exploiting women as usual only used as sex objects

I don't want to waste my time with this review any longer.... if you have allot of spare time on your hands then id still say avoid this film, you will be disappointed!!!!
