Rancid Aluminium Audience Reviews

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
rivnam this film is quite simply one of the worst films ever made and is a damning indictment on not only the British film industry but the talentless hacks at work today. Not only did the film get mainstream distribution it also features a good cast of British actors, so what went wrong? i don't know and simply i don't care enough to engage with the debate because the film was so terrible it deserves no thought at all. be warned and stay the hell away from this rubbish. but apparently i need to write ten lines of text in this review so i might as well detail the plot. A nob of a man is setup by his evil friend and co-worker out of his father's company and thus leads to an encounter with the Russian mafia and dodgy accents and stupid, very stupid plot twists/devices. i should have asked for my money back but was perhaps still in shock from the experience. if you want a good crime film watch the usual suspects or the godfather, what about lock, stock.... thats the peak of the contemporary British crime film.....
gfischer I'm often amused, and sometimes amazed, at the negative reviews given for films which I enjoyed, and where I think the reviewers missed the point of the whole thing. This was roundly criticized by several reviewers who evaluated it entirely as an attempt at serious action/drama, and overlooked the satire and tongue-in-cheek nature of the whole thing. The story was not only unbelievable, but fantastic. The characterization were shallow because they are caricatures; the bumbling son and heir, his avaricious and disloyal "friend" and partner who engages in an absurdly elaborate scheme to gain control of his business; the type cast Russian "Mafioso," their "femme fatale," whose bizarre actions go beyond the absurd. I think the scenario where our hero tries to establish an airtight alibi by producing a condom with DNA material from both him and her (despite the fact he could have produced the real thing a few hours earlier) is one of the funniest sequences I've ever seen in a movie. Lighten up out there! You missed a very funny movie.
hinchliffe This is the type of utter tripe that gives would-be film makers heartand despair in equal measures. Heart, in the fact that such a poorscript, such dreadful performance and such a flawed plot havebeen turned into a film. Despair that someone practically anyonewith a desire to make a film has a better screenplay that's notbeing made. The film is a shockingly bad attempt to cash in on the popularityrightfully enjoyed by Lock Stock and Snatch. Now we are all oldenough to appreciate the feeding frenzy that takes place aroundsuccess but for the love of god if you intend to dip your bread in thegravy at least be worthy. This turgid insult is without question anaberration that should never have seen the light of day. A filmwithout any and I mean any redeeming plus points.
dogsdildos All these armchair critics dont know nothing, this is a brilliant film of gangsterism and wicked performances from Rhys, Sadie, Steve, Tara, Jo, Tony, Keith, Dani, Bazzer, Josh and Olegaro et al - strong, no-holds-barred relentless in yer face direction from the man Edward Thomas(V) and a great production from the whole Friction Factory. I must stress I have no real relation to this independent production company or any of the characters involved, I'm just a lover of good British films and this is one of the best! Nice one boys, good one James, keep it up Jo, big up Ed, WICKED!
