Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Another excellent lower-budget British gangster film. God, I just love this stuff. Like most of my favorite films, two brief phrases work really well here: "hidden gem" and "excellent ensemble cast". This one is interesting because the running narration voice-over continually changes from character to character, so you never know what is going to happen next and to whom. It's gritty, seemingly realistic, unpredictable, and unfortunately, over much too soon.If you're into British crime flicks, this is an excellent one, and it is such a short movie that there's no excuse not to at least give it a shot.

Was this a tax write off?Who green lighted and financed such a horrible film?PLEASE let me script and write a UK gangster flick,I promise it will be 10,000 times better than this awful pile of steaming dog poop.Whose idea was it to use those stupid signed candy nic-names for the characters every 10 minutes? The director's girlfriend? DUMB!What a mess….poor script,weak acting,cliché after cliché,pathetic HACKNEYED gangster trope after cliché after played out trope. The only bright spot of this abysmal mess is the cinematography. Other than that you might be more enthralled and entertained if YOU stuck you head in the toilet,as this is indeed a class "A" toilet clogging straight to DVD/dumper of a film.Honestly I couldn't finish it because I could care less about anyone or anything in this film,and that is being kind. AVOID!

The film was slow and dull. Unoriginal characters and a clichéd British hard-men nutter story. No where near the class and wit of Guy Ritchie's Masterpieces which some people seem to have the audacity to compare this to. I just couldn't follow it, felt bored out of my mind within 5 minutes. I can't believe it's received any of the decent reviews which it has; I'm guessing they're family and friends of those who were involved in the making of this diabolical film.I would have hoped if they were ambitious enough to use the 5D Mark II to shoot this, they would have had the patience and desire to ensure the story was decent with imaginative characters and an engaging, colourful plot; this is where the film fell flat on it's face for me.

What Can I say.....? Great dialogue. Great Gals. Great pacing. Just.... Great all round.Nice mix of low rent "Sin City" set down south at the Kiss Me Quick seaside town of South End.Lot's going on to keep you amused and dialogue that is up there with Crime Noir writers like Leonard and Ellroy - it would give Tarantino a run for his money. Let me tell you that, My Son....Check it out if you liked Lock Stock. Same pacing and humour.Not sure why it is below most people's radar on IMDb. But I loved it.
