    absolute drivel, wooden

    Sat home innit. Board, heard of this title through a homie. WHAT!!! This was supposed to be a gritty film not a playschool/jackanory title. Seriously..Whoever gave it some high ratings must either be deluded or high on calpol. I agree with the other reviews. Only waste your time if you want to loose an hour or so of your life. I turned it off after around 54 mins. That was 53 mins too long.Some of the tunes were OK. The wardrobe was OK in places.Make up well they did a good job on the boys. The idea was clique been there, done it and I have the t-shirt. The camera work and pull were decent enough as was the Directing but it was wasted on the story or lack of and as I say the wooden acting the director can only do SO much. You can lead a horse to water...

    Not good enough.

    Too many bad actors ruined what could have been a decent film. Over the top dialect which is sometimes confusing. The plot and story are actually very good but it's let down by the poor cast. Too much street talk for me too.

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

    Bad, bad and terrible.

    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.

    Poor effort at best

    If you're going to make a film featuring cops and gangsters you need to have believability on both sides of the fence.

    Unfortunately, it seems that a large (over the top) amount of effort was put into the gangster swagger, attitude and lingo - but no effort put into understanding or acting for the police or family outside the gangs. There were some good strong characters in this, but they were overshadowed by some of the laughably poor abilities of others.

    Final nail in the coffin was the ending - abrupt and lacking in depth. It just completely ran out of steam.
