So much average

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Tired of endless 'Mockney' gangster flicks? Fed up with Danny Dyer? Bored with the same plots and dialogue recycled time after time (think Essex Boys anyone)? Then Clubbed is just the antidote you need.Set in Birmingham in the early 1980s, a meek factory work (with a shaded backstory) re-establishes his pride, confidence and even masculinity in the dangerous world of nightclub security. The acting, direction and production values are simply first class; characters are brought to life as three dimensional people with challenges, values, beliefs and problems like everyone else; and, yes, the violence is frequent, messy and sudden - again, just like in real life - but like every other life lesson and action (beneficial or otherwise) contained within this morality play, its use is never without consequences.

Great British Drama, which depicts the life of a man who lives in constant fear until he meets a group of friends who change that. After meeting outside the gym, the main guy offers him a job as a bouncer, and the main protagonist begins to train hard in order to fit in with his newly found friends.Nice meaning as a film and famous phrases such as quotations from Sun Tzu's 'Art of War'. Shows the impact and importance of friends on a person's life.Would have been rated much higher if the final fight scene involving the two friends seeking revenge was choreographed and shown, as that would have been a thoroughly entertaining climax.

Quite disappointed with "Clubbed" to be honest. I didn't feel as though the characters were really that believable and the story line was the only thing to keep me engrossed in the film.A little believable in places but mostly non-believable in others.I love the fact that the budget of the film was very modest compared to the big budget counterparts and I do enjoy seeing an independently financed film do well, so hats off there really.I would probably recommend "Clubbed" to friends I know who would appreciate supporting the independent film companies, as opposed to the story line and acting.

I rented this as I had some time to kill, and it looked interesting. Wow! Extremely well written, filmed and directed, it goes straight into the some of the best films I have ever seen list.Set in the 1980's, it captures the time and pace of the decade and offers a realistic portrayal of club life. Like any good film, some characters are exaggerated for effect but not in a way that detracts from the story.Violent in parts, the Director handles it in a way that Hollywood has forgotten. The cast bounce of each other and the lead roles all give superb performances.Watch it, then watch it again.
