A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

This is a decent film. Riz Ahmed shows he's worthy of a lead role. He's definitely the best actor in the film. The writing has a few issues and the sub plot feels a little over worked but it's definitley entertaining.

This is a low budget movie, but as it has the luck of a few notable names in UK acting, then surely it should have been of far greater quality with what we are lumped with here.Centring round a Private Detective out to find a lost prostitute, as ever there is more than meets the eye, but the storyline never seems to work. If anything there is too much ridiculous nonsense. Added to that is a woeful added back story with the reappearance on an old girlfriend and so on.Most of the cast seems to have just faxed in their parts and Billie Piper appears here as 'Billie Piper' it seems, only there to raise some attention for the film but nothing else.The terrorism, asian community, corruption, police cover up stuff, just doesn't seem to all gel together, and it's a mess.Add in a director who is trying to make this all look high brow, ends up with a number of camera shots which end up taking you away from the film, and it really looks poor. Trying to be creative or showing action or cleverness, but really not at all.I'd say you should just avoid this. It's short but you can spend your time watching better.

I'm supposed to respect a private detective too dumb to wear a hat in the rain? It seems to think its mood is fascinating.I found it dull. Too much lingering over the unimportant.An utterly banal story idea, but faster paced it might have been OK.It was still a silly copy of a US tale, out of place.Making it ethnic did not help.

This movie is definitely worth the watch. Something a bit different reflecting on growing up on the London Streets being Asian. It's not to over done or a low budget movie. All I've got to say is watch it openly with a open mind and try to Huss out who is the hit man yep I'm not giving it away yet lol Enjoy
