It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Soooooo, there's some awful acting, backed up by a truly risible script and a plot that has more holes in it than a badly repaired fishing net.I am still watching this film in the hope that all of the main characters die horrible deaths. I am hoping this as their murders will be a stand in for someone grabbing the script and acting, tying them to a chair and slowly slicing them to pieces with rusty spoons. Oh, I am a huge fan of swearing, but sometimes, when you're watching a film where a character says c**t over and over and over again, you begin to think that the writer has mistaken the use of swearing for character development. Whether 'gangsters' actually struggle with self expression in the same way as this character clearly does is a moot point. C**t man is a work of fiction and should have a character whose rough roots are revealed through rich dialogue, or at least exposition. Just getting him to say c**t a lot is just really tiring. In fact none of the dialogue is convincing. The whole cocker-nee schtick is crafted in a way that makes it seem like the writer once read a book like 'The Little Book of Cockerney Profanity' and has just copied bits of that out rather than think about how real humans actually speak.I recommend this film for people who want to write and direct a film, but are worried that they might not have the talent to do so. Watch this to see just how low the bar is actually set. Even if you've only employed a chimps as your writers and crew, you will have a fair shot at out doing this.

Having just watched Rise of the Footsoldier, I thought I'd watch this.Starring thingy, Kyle and Kye somebody, and another guy.I don't believe that in the real underworld/club land, there would be anyone afraid of these 4 clowns. Like Ever! This film is so tenuously linked to the range rover films it doesn't compare. It's like comparing a Ferrari with a piece of cheese.I blame the casting department who hired the worst choice actors for this sort of story. It is like hiring Barry from Eastenders to play Vito Corleone. No offence B.And another thing... Previous reviews have stated 7/8 even 10 stars for this film. I wonder what they gave Goodfellas, shawshank, green mile etc.... 20 out of 10!?

Terrible script, terrible acting. I had to fast forward through large sections. The so called 'actors' are unbelievably bad, honestly they need to get another day job. Applies to main characters and side parts, including the foreign actors who can barely deliver their lines. Do not waste your time, even the current 4.2 rating is pushed up by the cast and crew who have gotten their friends to vote for the film. Real user rating will not be above 1/10. In summary, if you want an action film, a storyline, and do not want to lose an hour and a half of your life to actors who would better serve society and the arts by stacking shelves in a supermarket, please see other films. Life is too short for this drivel.

Review: This is your typical East End wannabe gangster movie about 4 drug dealers that mess with the wrong people. It's connected to the famous Range Rover killings, which they have made quite a few English movies about, but it starts off well and then it goes downhill. The acting Is just like all the other English gangster movies that you have seen, and the storyline is full of drugs, sex and violence which we have grown to expect from movies in this genre. I stuck with the movie to find out what was going to happen with the 3 brothers and the drug maker, and there are a couple of twists that make it interesting, but it's nothing amazing. It seemed quite low budget and I couldn't help thinking that the boys should have left the country from the time that they knew that someone was after them or when the cops started to put pressure on them. They didn't even try to hide, which was a bit strange, and they just stayed in there flat when they new that people wanted to murder them. Anyway, it's watchable but not one that you will rewind. Round-Up: I usually get ticked off when I see the usual faces in these English gangster movies, but this movie really needed some of the old tough nuts that we have seen many times before. Billy Murray is stuck in jail throughout the movie so you hardly see him at all. The 4 main characters just seem like a bunch of kids trying to play a big mans game, and they just get too big for there boots. To be honest, I don't know why they didn't get murdered earlier on in the movie because there not really underworld material.Budget: $1million Worldwide Gross: N/AI recommend this movie to people who are into there English gangster movies which are full of sex, drugs & violence. 3/10
