Waste of time
Please don't spend money on this.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Despite the fact that there allot of people i know who actually star in this movie, I've only just had a chance to watch it for the first time now. (and its f**king wicked) The camera work is beautiful, and Actor & Friend Terry Stone plays his part very very nicely, Loving it Terry, looking forward to working on 10 Dead men with ya. Rollin with the nines, yes yes yes,The Violence, god damn, the claret (everywhere), The lead Actress, Naomi Taylor sexy as f**k,and when some one gets blasted with a nine, they really get hit hard and its convincing when someone gets killed. Get this film asap, will cost you about £16 from Hmv but well f**king worth having this one in your collection. love this film to bits and no i Ain't being bias either. BrEnDaN
Well... If you think Chavs are interesting and exciting then watch this film. People with more than one brain cell will not like this film. The film is about black gangs dealing drugs. Gang members die because they decide that they're stepping on each others "turf". What a surprise. The film is incredibly boring and the rape scene makes you want to be sick. The film glorifies the gang culture. Sadly this film will stick in the minds of the many simple people who watch it and have a negative effect on society as a whole as it promotes the gangster (uk/chav gangster) lifestyle. Films like this should be banned.Don't waste your time on this peasant trash... .
Rollin With Nines is a modern action packed film of the street from the street. It' s a breathless roller-coaster ride of a cinematic experience. It takes the viewer into the streets of London and shows them like you've never seen them before, because it's real. It's Lock Stock without the jokes, it's NARC with a wicked, thumping and relentless soundtrack by the likes of Dizee Rascal, Simon Webbe, Miss Dynamite and anyone who is anyone in the street music scene. The photography is stylish, inventive and aptly hectic. It is without a doubt a piece of ground breaking British cinema. The creators of the story Pikki (also music producer) and Bigs had a huge influence and input on the dialogue, which helped anchor the film firmly into its roots. The films strength is dealing with the issues without sentimentality or moralising. It is a story of revenge and the inability of the main protagonists to escape the only life they know which ultimately reaps their demise. Good performances all round but specially Robbie Gee, Vas Blackwood, Anthony Warren and strong cameo from Jason Flyming.
STAR RATING: ***** The Works **** Just Misses the Mark *** That Little Bit In Between ** Lagging Behind * The Pits Too Fine (Simon Webbe of boy band Blue) and his friends Finny (Vas Blackwood), Pushy (Robbie Gee) and Rage (Roffem Morgan) have formed an underground garage group called Too Fine and are hoping to make it into the big leagues. But it all goes tragically wrong when he is murdered by a rival gang leader over an unpayed street debt from his time selling rock on the streets. To make matters worse, with him gone, the weight of that burden falls on the shoulders of his sister Hope (Naomi Taylor) who is then beaten up and raped by his killer, with a promise of worse things to come if the debt is not settled soon. However, realizing there is no realistic way to settle the debt in time and to seek revenge for her brother's murder and her rape, she visits the man early one morning and blasts him to death. The dust seems to settle a little after this, until she learns that one of the man's top suppliers, gangster David Brumby (Billy Murray) has now lost a valuable source of income. Suggesting they work together instead of against each other, they split the difference and Hope and her brother's friends hit the streets again to sell the poison that got them by in the first place. However after an horrific nightclub shooting at the hands of Pushy and Rage in retaliation for Too Fine's murder, two persistent detectives start getting on their backs and it's only a matter of time before everything threatens to come crashing down around them.This small, independent British gangster film has won acclaim at numerous Film Festivals and such, but has had an extremely limited distribution on it's release over here. But like other film's of it's sort, despite it's faults, it's destined to be one of those little seen gems that always gets this sort of distribution.It's a film with a great sense of style, slickly shot and cleverly edited, as well as what is surely a very real depiction of the lives of those it is based around. It also delivers the goods in terms of being hard-hitting and powerful when it needs to be, with some strong, blood-thirsty violence with a lot of loud bangs present in some scenes. However it is the performances that are really noteworthy. Taylor has a certain sexiness to her in her role, a sort of strong black woman type which has appeal. Murray as Brumby is okay, but as soon as I saw him, I couldn't help but think of him as Johnny Allan from East Enders and hearing him use words like 'f*ck' and 'c*nt' really felt funny, especially as he says them in front of a lady, when you think of what a gentleman he's supposed to be in real life. Blackwood, Gee, Morgan and Webbe (making his film debut in what is a very small role) just sort of do what the script requires and fade into the background a little, but Terry Stone as one of the detectives has a good main role.As I said, it has it's faults. It's not the most original sort of film we've been seeing at the moment, it's a bit excessive at times and it feels a little overlong. But if anywhere near you's showing it, it's a little released urban gem that's worth seeking out and seeing. ****
