i can ' t wait for this . i ' m excited to see d . o ' s acting skills . : 3 and i see why the movie is called cart : 3
before the
umbrella movement
spawns its own film , hongkongers could at least relive the spirit through this unrelated labour - rights drama . cart is set around a south korean retail chain store whose management habitually forces extended shifts on its staff and , on occasion , makes them kneel to customers .
oddly enough this film made me think of my mom and aunt . they didn’t have a similar experience but they…
tbh i only watched this movie because i wanted to see do kyungsoo , and even though i loved his acting in this film ( and every other film he ' s in ) this film made my heart ache and shined a light on a topic that isn ' t brought up a lot . i was angry and sad , i cried and laughed , and i enjoyed this film more than i was anticipating and i appreciate the message it has
man push cart is a gem of independent film making . it is a beautiful , haunting portrayal of one man ' s life in an alien city . a thriving metropolis like new york is home to a myriad of stories . in the course of our daily lives , we only scratch the surfaces of many of these . this film delves deeper into one of them - the story of ahmad , an immigrant bagel cart worker . there is some optimism , but equally , much disappointment . moments of happiness , and many of sadness . hollywood demands that the hero gets the girl , achieves success , and all is resolved in a
happy ending
. this film is unashamedly and refreshingly un - hollywood , and ahmad ' s ultimate fulfilment is by no means guaranteed . nevertheless , like sisyphus , he will persevere . when the cameras stop rolling , and we leave the cinema , he will continue . it is this , together with superb lead actor ahmad razvi ' s own personal experiences as a push cart vendor , that make this film so convincing and compelling . this is a film that stays with you . for those of us who live in large cities , this film is a moving insight into the world that goes on all around us , a world that we skim past every day and quickly forget . man push cart is a sympathetic , but not sentimental , snapshot of this world , and one that is well worth experiencing .
to get financiers interested you need to show which key cast and crew are interested in your film . they need to know you have filmmakers with experience on board the project and a clear idea of how your film is going to look .
bahrani ' s film was accepted by sundance 2006 . the festival offered an opportunity for his low - budget effort to find audiences , and i immediately invited it to my overlooked film festival last april . a central illinois audience reacted , if anything , more favorably than the sundance crowd . the film ' s story is simple , and moving , and inescapable .
“first , i thought audiences in toronto would look at this film in a more rational way , ” boo said . “but surprisingly , they took it more emotionally than i had imagined , with many people tearing up while watching the film . ”

meanwhile , the top ten films of the year were the unfair , cart , coin locker girl , the shameless , right now , wrong then , revivre , ode to my father , assassination , veteran and the throne .
though it ' s not the strongest of the series overall , baby cart to hades will appeal to fans of the action side of the genre , and its otherwise simple narrative presents more moral complexity than one might expect .

korean box office : interstellar threatens to catch up with frozen and avatar interstellar drew 4 , 843 , 903 audiences in ten days since its release . this means the sci - fi film has outrun frozen which is the top grossing foreign film in korea this year . interstellar reached the four million milestone two days earlier than frozen . the film has run fast enough to lead people to have much anticipation f . . .
hi , so i was wondering if anyone knew of a theater in canada in the gta or hamilton area playing cart . are there any theaters which play other korean movies too ? i ' m so psyched for his brilliant acting once again !
traveling to other countries with the film is such an interesting opportunity “because you learn about cultural differences and engage in dialogues , ” boo remarked .
the second film in the ' lone wolf and cub ' series is better then the first . as ogami itto continues his journey he is forced to battle a group of female ninja and assasinate a traitor out to sell secrets . ' baby cart at the river styx ' is far more defined then the first film , now the concept is firmly in place the film has freedom to operate much more freely and flesh out its interesting lead character as well as a cast of interesting side characters and daigoro ( ogami ' s son ) . ' baby cart at the river styx ' also feels far more well rounded then the first in the series and has a better ending ( which was my main complaint with the first ) . much like the first in the series this installment takes violence and uses it in an extreme yet poetic style alongside artistic imagery and often dead silience . as well as ogami ' s journey the second film also features an interesting side plot about the leader of the female ninja coming to terms with her own abilities , the will to survive and honor . the series feels as if it is leading up to something great so i hope it lives up to the expectations set in place by this film .
in the best film category is jk youn’ s ode to my father , which recently passed the 14 million admissions mark and the all time second highest grossing film at thekorean box office . hong sangsoo ’s hill of freedom was nominated in the same section , while hong is on the shortlist for best director . kase ryo , who stars in hong’s feature , is also up for the best actor award . in addition , roaring currents ’ choi min - shik is up the same prize . this film , which rewrote korean film history last year , is about the real life hero admiral yi sun - shin . choi has already won various awards for this role including grand bell awards , blue dragon awards , and maxmovie best film awards , which are decided by viewers . choi now looks towards the asian film awards to see if he can add another trophy to his collection .
bjy : with full support from the production company , myung films , everything went well . but during pre - production , it wasn’t possible to use or rent the department store in which the film was set , so we had to rent a warehouse and eventually build half the set . moreover , in its early stage , myung films had difficulties getting full funding for the film . it seemed that , since most of korea’s leading enterprises were [ financially ] involved in both retail and movies , location - scouting and raising funding were not so easy for a film like cart , which tells the story of the temporary workers at a major supermarket who fight against the unfair actions of a company .

taking on cart was not in line with the rush of social critique films coming out such as silenced ( 2011 ) and the attorney ( 2013 ) . it was more due to the sense of heightened public awareness and interest in the lives of women , inspired by forever the moment . also coming across a news report on part - time female workers at large - scaled supermarket chains , we have made the decision to turn this story into a film . this subject matter was never dealt with by a mainstream film company with a commercial production budget and star cast . we are convinced that if the film succeeds in creating a public appeal as it has through forever the moment , it will lead to a positive effect which is another reason why we decided to take the film . as for im kwon - taek’s cremation , this was a decision made out of the desire to participate with the acknowledgment of an outstanding filmmaker’s vision . and although we’ve never worked together before , our respect towards this master in film and the sense of responsibility we feel about assisting him in continuing his work had us join forces to work on a new project .
in her new movie “cart , ” director boo ji - young depicts temporary employees of a mega supermarket chain who are facing unfair layoffs . they are ordinary women , including a mother of two kids , a single mom and a college grad . they gather to fight against the company’s exploitative practices .
you would think . but as victor , distracted by the television sets he lusts after and an abrasive friend ( lali gonzález ) who wants a cut of the action , trundles his loaded cart through alleys lousy with grabbers and grifters , the film evolves from wryly comedic lark to major - stakes thriller . flinging obstacles as if they were confetti — a desperate rival for the assignment ( víctor sosa ) ; a pair of conflicted cops ; the cargo’s menacing owners — the filmmakers stage an amazing race that almost absolves an overstuffed plot and an over - reliance on coincidence . all the while , richard careaga’s anxious camera skids under tables and peers up uneasily from the cart’s bouncing wheels ; it knows that sooner or later we’re going to have to see what’s in those boxes .
this part of the film proposal should read like a short story and be written in the present tense . the film treatment presents the entire story including the ending , and use some key scenes and dialogue from the screenplay it is based on . it is more detailed than the synopsis and may include details of directorial style that an outline omits .
out of korea ' s 18 . 78 million wage earners in korea , 6 million are non - regular or contract workers . now the movie
cart
by director boo ji - young which opened in theaters last week , deals with the plight of supermarket contract workers who face being laid off .
among the rest of the selections , july jung ’s drama a girl at my door and kim seong - hun ’s thriller a hard day both debuted at the cannes film festival , park jung - bum ’s feature - length jeonju digital project alive and zhang lu ’s gyeongju both had their international premieres at the locarno international film festival and kelvin kyung kun park ’s documentary a dream of iron debuted at the berlin international film festival . completing the lineup is the recent thriller confession , from first time director lee do - yun .
bahrani was inspired by
the myth of sisyphus ,
by albert camus , the story of a man who spends his life pushing a rock up a hill , only to see it roll down again , and only push it back up again . well , what else can he do ?
man push cart
is not an indictment of the american economy or some kind of political allegory . it is about what it is about . i think the message may be that it is better , after all , to push the cart than to face a life without purpose at the bottom of the hill .
in a film like this , it is pointless to describe
screenplay ,
acting ,
or
direction .
the film is resolutely utilitarian . no effort is made to create a visual look ; the camera simply , impassively , regards . razui ' s acting never strains for effect ; it embodies the bleakness and exhaustion of his character .

“when it comes to film , seoul is a city that never fails to produce new talent and surprising works of art , ” said tiff international programmer giovanna fulvi of the selections .
bjy : well , generally speaking , a film made by a female director tends to be called “women’s cinema , ” whereas , if you think of an action movie featuring a bunch of guys , people don’t call it “men’s cinema . ” i hope that , even if a lot of women appear in my film , it won’t be categorized as “women’s cinema . ”
exploited temp workers at a big - box store in south korea organize themselves to fight layoffs in “cart , ” a standard - issue pic that hits all the expected notes about a standard issue . based on a real case , this solidly made sophomore feature by boo ji - young ( “sisters on the road” ) is the kind of earnestly crafted labor - rights drama in which various characters , each a distinct type , band together to fight against evil suits . it’s a worthy story but too familiar to play much beyond korean showcases overseas ; at home , “cart” totaled more than 800 , 000 admissions , with takings exceeding $ 5 million .

cart ( 2014 ) is a korean film based on a true story . it ' s about big - box store ( looks very much like wal - mart ) employees banding together against corporate greed . most of the initial workers are women and their organizing attempts are inspiring . as with most foreign films americans might find the timing a little unsettling but this is an interesting peek into korean culture . if you ' re in the mood for a south korean version of norma rae ( 1979 ) this is it .
in order to weave this weighty issue into her film in a more intriguing and accessible way , boo researched the subject for years , and talked with employees who were involved in similar labor disputes .
boo ji - young attended the korean academy of film arts . she directed the feature film sisters on the road ( 2009 ) , as well as four shorts : spark ( 1997 ) , his humming ( 2000 ) , a drop of clear salty liquid ( 2002 ) , and a time to love ( 2011 , co - directed with yang ik - june ) .

the character , named ahmad ( ahmad razui ) , has had a life before this , but the pushcart now defines the parameters of his existence . he was a pakistani rock star , although how that career ended and he came to new york to push a cart ( which would be a subject of a more conventional film ) is barely suggested . ahmad ' s wife is dead , his in - laws will not allow him to see his son , and maybe he originally came to america to seek the child . now he sells bagels .

though she knows that she doesn’t have power to change the labor system or bring about political changes , she said she hoped that through the film people become more aware of the issue and engage in dialogue .
at times the images are agonizing to behold , men in their most desperate , hateful depths preying on children . the film , exceptional on many counts , ultimately is sad in a hopeless , haunting way .

one area where this has manifested itself is in the asian film summit that seeks to establish connections between asian cinema and the west . this year the third edition of the summit , which took place on sept . 9 at the shangri - la hotel in downtown toronto , largely focused on china ' s potentially very lucrative market , which kicked off with a keynote address by legendary east ceo and film producer peter loehr who fielded questions from the festival ' s artistic director cameron bailey .
young star doh kyung - soo ( aka d . o . ) has landed a lead role in swing kids , the new film by director kang hyoung - chul , as confirmed by doh’s agency sm entertainment . the film will also feature upcoming actress park hye - su . swing kids concerns a young north korean tap dancer called roh gi - soo against the background of a prisoner of war camp during the korean war . doh will play the role of roh . a memb . . .
two films will have their world premieres in the city to city : seoul program : the supermarket drama cart , from sisters on the road ( 2009 ) director boo ji - young and starring kim gang - woo , moon jeong - hee and a host of others ; and scarlet innocence , the jung woo - sung drama that marks the first feature - length directorial outing for yim pil - sung since 2007’s hansel and gretel .
“the interesting thing is that while directors make films based on grand and universal themes , the materials to explain the theme tend to be specific and inherent to certain countries or cultural groups . i think that’s what makes each film interesting and unique . ”
the introduction or synopsis is the most critical element of your film proposal . it tells how compelling the project is and reveals how passionate the filmmaker is . if your synopsis is dynamic and is strategically placed , it will remain active in the readers mind .
for new talent , indie film set me free picked up the best new director prize for kim tae - yong and best new actor for choi woo - shik , while shin su - won ’s madonna brought home best new actress for kwon so - hyun .
we see the world he inhabits outside the cart . he knows the other nearby vendors , including a hispanic woman at a magazine stand . romance would be a possibility , except that romance is not a possibility in ahmad ' s life . it is too filled with the making of a living . like so many americans who work low - wage jobs , sometimes two or even three of them , his work essentially subsidizes his ability to keep on working .
well crafted drama , sleepers manages to tackle a revenge style story with the right mix of drama that is aided by a great cast of talented actors . i thought that the ideas expressed on - screen were well tackled in the sense that there are several disturbing moments with the first hour of the film . the rest of the film changes gears and goes into a court room drama . barry levinson ' s direction is well done , and we get an accomplished picture that is captivating , powerful and unforgettable . this is a well structured revenge crime drama that uses basic elements of storytelling to really let the tale unfold . sleepers is engaging , and the levinson suggests what is happening to the boys off camera , makes this film quite disturbing , but it ' s done in a way to leave to the viewer to interpret what kind of horrors they face . with that aspect , the film really is impressive as it ' s engrossing from start to finish , and there are some tremendous talent that is present here . revenge films are pretty much alike , but the way they ' re handled make them stand out , and with sleepers we have a terrific picture that is very well acted and directed , and in that regard it ' s a memorable genre film that does manage to stand out due to its cast and the way it handles its subject . if you enjoy the genre , sleepers is a film not to miss , it works on many levels and it ' s a film that despite its simple plot , manages to be riveting from start to finish . legal dramas are always interesting to watch because there are so many spins to the story , and with the story that is here , we have something that is entertaining , yet at the same time hard to watch . luckily the way the subject was handled was very well done .
as the film deals with the ongoing social issue in korea of millions of temporary workers and their job insecurity , bailey commented that “the problem is a heavily gendered one , with women far less likely than men to land the increasingly rare full - time roles . ”
it ' s times like these , when union and workers ' rights are being weakened at the state and national level in the u . s .

2013 was a heartbreaking year as it was one that film producers and filmmakers experienced serious setbacks due to the power of money , financiers and distribution . filmmakers were fired or opted to withdraw from projects while in production , signaling the hollywood - ization of the korean film production system . i regret the fact that the consolidation of financing , distribution and even exhibition places too much power into the financier’s hands . witnessing filmmakers being fired from the production scene , the conflict mostly stemmed between the filmmaker and financier and not the filmmaker and film company . within the power structure of filmmaker - producer - financier , it has been hard for producers to have any proper say in the decision - making process . and in this light , i hope this year marks a change in this power structure whereby each role of filmmaker , producer and financier is clearly defined by recognizing and respecting each profession’s specific field .
despite its run - of - the - mill characterisation , this second feature by director boo ji - young largely engages with its sincere attempt at social critique . with inadvertent parallels to the happenings during last year ' s occupy movement , the film may also feel closer to hongkongers than was intended .

bjy : the production company , myung films , had been working on the film c art since 2008 , and the producer sent me an early draft in 2011 . after reading the script , i knew that it was for me , and i wanted to share the story of the power of ordinary people .
her response goes to the heart of the question of what a film director should be . “as a creator of any kind , i think it is important to be sensitive to what is going on and ongoing conversations in society , ” said boo . “works that reflect the current time are crucial for me . ”
that is why she thinks several producers in china want to look for a korean director to do their own local films where the film looks chinese , but you don ' t see the korean element , as illustrated with the success of

major companies’ monopolization must be resolved . the façade of 200 million admissions in total local ticket sales has eluded us from acknowledging such industry polarization caused by monopoly . if only a few fortunate companies continue to reap profits in the market , this will ultimately work against the growth of the local film industry . diversity now is imperative .

loehr provided attendees with some compelling statistics when asked by bailey about the real scale of the chinese market .
this year , china will be the first box office market outside the u . s . to cross $ 5 billion in a single year
and according to leohr , the film industry ' s biggest international market is set to continue to grow .
the film is adapted from the classic korean tale “the story of simcheong . ” however , it has a different vibe from the traditional story as “director yim takes radical liberties with the story , changing what was always a father - daughter dynamic into an account of two strangers who first become lovers , then adversaries , ” commented bailey , who chose the selection .
this latest set of announcements brings the total amount of korean films at tiff to 14 , as they join the gala presentation for haemoo , co - written by bong joon ho , and im kwon - taek ’s revivre and hong sangsoo ’s hill of freedom , both screening in the masters section . the 39th toronto international film festival will unspool over september 4 to 14 .
interestingly , with box office sales generating 99 percent of a film ' s revenue , the ancillary market could yield further lucrative returns in a yet untapped market .
in the u . s . , the majority of revenue comes from other income streams , including home video and theme parks that can reduce the levels of risk . but there is really just a single income stream in china .

this is what i always hoped for a tourneur film to look like , and yet it reads gene fowler jr . the story is messy , doesn ' t make sense , and it seems they had to shoot fast , but for the majority of its runtime this is one of the greatest cinematography in ( regal ) scope i ' ve ever seen , where a muddy line between events at night and day make you dream of something bigger .
this western with a message starts out fast with an early gunfight , but then slows down considerably & takes things at a leisurely pace for most of the remainder of the movie . character development , especially of bronson & his girlfriend , is very good , & meaningful issues are explored ( e . g . ,
is he a bad guy if he ' s a model citizen in his town , has helped his neighbors in important ways , but just happens to have killed three people elsewhere ?
) . the plight of short people is also explored to some extent . overall , a solid story with some action . i rate it 8 / 10 .

hopeless romantic charles bronson stars in this good - looking , black and white regalscope western . the story is standard stuff but the character motivations seem somewhat trivial to be getting into life and death altercations . bronson is a little bit more tender than usual which is not his strong suit , and the protagonists are utterly forgettable , however , john carradine is in top form as the acerbic town doctor / barber / mortician .
the marshal with a chip on his shoulder comes to town , befriends the single girl , takes down the big bad guy but the whole town stands by the dead guy . a sort of high noon where the good guy has to learn from his mistakes to live in town instead of killing everyone and going away . charles bronson does a nice job in this otherwise so - so movie .

triads , yardies and onion bhajees : once upon a time in southall is based on the novel the stone shiva by manish patel . the movie centres on the holy smokes crime syndicate and the real - life $ 6 million heathrow airport robbery . it ' s a fight to the finish as the asian holy smokes battle the chinese triads , jamaican yardies and the english firm to see who rules london !
london is owned by four gangs ; the new age yardies , triads and holy smokes who have muscled in on the turf of old skool hard nuts the firm .
based on a novel by the film ' s screenwriter and star manish patel , and with the subtitle “once upon a time in southall” , triads , yardies and onion bhajees is the story of an asian gang called the holy smokes at war with triads , yardies and , no , not onion bhajees ( isn ' t it spelt ' bhaji ' ? ) , but the firm , the last gang of anglo - saxon cockneys left in london . at the helm of a huge drugs trafficking operation where cocaine is transported in onion bhajis so sniffer dogs won ' t be able to detect the narcotics , the holy smokes also land themselves in not only the hottest , but the deepest water when they steal six million dollars from heathrow airport , planting the seeds for a string of murders between the rival gangs and chaos on the streets of the capitol city .
the only film to get an official selection from britain for the prestigious cannes film festival 2003 is a british asian production triads , yardies and onion bhajees ! by pulp sanskrit / shaanti films . when manish patel , scriptwriter , actor , producer of the film received a letter from the cannes film festival saying his film has been short listed for screening , he could not believe it .
sarjit bains , director , believes he has assembled the best possible cast for triads , yardies and onion bhajees !
after years of watching films stereotyping ethnic minorities the time has come for a new viewpoint .
manish patel , screenwriter , says :
there seems to be a monopoly on ethnic roles in films and tv . the same faces crop up everywhere . be it comedy , action or angst - the same old faces - we hope to introduce the movie industry to the real talent !
here is a new genre of asian film . it ' s fast ! it ' s violent ! and there are no archetypal asian cheek - pinching - aunties or big song ' n ' dance numbers . six million dollars has been stolen from heathrow airport . which gang has it ? the asian holy smokes , the triads , the yardies or the east end
firm
? and who is trying to take over the holy smokes ' lucrative cocaine trade ( cocaine smuggled in the onion bhajees from the title ) ?
this movie is based on the holy smokes crime syndicate and the real life $ 6million heathrow airport robbery . it ' s a fight to the finish as the asian holy smokes do battle with the chinese triads , jamaican yardies and the english firm to see who really rules london !
triads , yardies and onion bhajees ! is the first ever film to show the goings on in the gritty underbelly of london ' s multi - cultural underworld where indian gangs are getting powerful with each passing day . until yesterday in british gangster films like guy ritchie ' s lock stock and two smoking barrels , blacks played comic roles and indians were only seen behind cash counters in corner shops . in the real world , gun culture is turning to be the biggest problem among indian and black communities . tired of asians being merely associated with arranged marriages and the consequent identity crisis , young asians are now vigorously exploring new , relevant themes for films .
south london is governed by the yardies , the jamaican mafia . at the head of this notorious crew is lloyd . this gang lives purely for the day and their motto is live ' fast and die young ! '
someone is muscling on the holy smokes ' cocaine deals and they are not amused . plus six million dollars has gone missing from heathrow airport . hot on the trail of the money is the metropolitan police ' s most corrupt officer , detective inspector greaves . it ' s a roller - coaster ride as the holy smokes wage war against the chinese triads , jamaican yardies and the english firm .
north london is the territory of the triads . these ruthless chinese gangsters will do anything to protect their honour . leading them is the young billy chan .
stylistically , triads , yardies and onion bhajees is atrocious . it ' s presented in horribly grainy black and white for no purpose that i could see , with off , shaky camerawork . the director obviously had absolutely no idea what he was doing . the same goes for the writer—i have no idea what his novel is like , but his script contains some of the worst dialogue ever written , and not only is the writing wholly foul , but it ' s coupled in a marriage from hell with actors who can ' t do just that—act . literally no one in the movie is a decent performer , and i ' m not being too harsh or exaggerating in the slightest . in fact , in the making of special feature , you see a couple of pages of the script and it ' s not even formatted correctly . who the hell would invest their time , money and effort into making a movie with a “screenplay” so mind - numbingly bad ? i would have killed myself if i had the sheer misfortune of reading it .
someone is muscling on the holy smokes cocaine deals and they are not amused . added to this deadly event is the theft of six million dollars from heathrow airport making an explosive cocktail ! hot on the trail of the missing money is the metropolitan police ' s most corrupt officer detective inspector greaves ( jonathan reason ) and singh ( manish patel ) , london ' s most ruthless feared hitman . it ' s a roller - coaster ride as the holy smokes wage war against the triads , the yardies and the firm .

one of my favourite films of recent years . i got to see this while a student in leicester in an art - house cinema . triads , yardies . . . blows away every stereotype concerning the british asian community . the film belongs to newcomer manish patel ( singh ) , who literally steals the show . very few actors achieve cult status in their debut films but it appears that patel has done this by the bucket load . getting dave courtney ( mad dave ) to portray the head of the english mob was an inspired move .

i ' ve given this 3 stars and that is on the basis that an amateur filmmaker could watch this and try and replicate the shots and styles as a way of practice . the areas the gangsters are located in and heist idea makes sense . however , the acting is very poor compared to a quality gangster movie . the look of the film is cheap and the cinematography appears to be very basic . its pays tribute to scarface using the ironic

i started watching this with a bit of trepidation . . . but it was a much better film than thought it would be ! basically it is very provincial and would only really appeal to people in the uk and then only people that live within london and know the industrialised areas centralised around heathrow e . g . slough , staines and feltham . most people will recognise all the thugs and miscreants wandering around the streets and using it to live out their gangster fantasies . . . anyway , i liked it .
summary : someone is muscling in a london gang ' s cocaine deals and they are not amused . add to this the theft of $ 6m dollars from heathrow airport and its pursuit by the metropolitan police ' s most corrupt officer and you have an explosive cocktail

from the trailers and interviews i ' ve seen and heard this is going to be a must - see film . it will premiere at cannes this year and then go on general release in june . the only problem might be the certificate , as this is reputed to be a very violent film .
this was an excellent portrayal of gang life and the trials and tributes between rival culture gangs . the acting was great all round with the outstanding role of trudie played by yasmine maya . she threw so much passion and power into this role . this film would be a very enjoyable watch for any film lover .
we bought this film thinking and believing it was going to be a great british gangster film - comparing itself to lock stock and two smoking barrels , we have yet to discover the comparison ! the story / plot seemed like a winning formula - we were very wrong . the acting other than dave courtney was atrocious , and the most laughable one being that of the main character / hardman singh . we couldn ' t take it seriously we found it all so bizarre and not at all close to that of real life gangsters and gangs , i can ' t go any deeper into that without giving some of the plot away . we presumed it was filmed in black and white as it looked even worse in colour . had this film been more realistic and better actors used - not so wooden and reading from a script it could have been enjoyable . we had to laugh at the end that we had sat and watched it all . do not be sucked in to the false advertising on the cover a complete waste of time .

black and white ? nice touch , but that was it . the concept seemed sound but the delivery was weak and protracted . the acting is of the bad school play standard - speaking in what seems to be slow motion does not add gravitas to the dialogue which is basically tosh . stereotypes abound and they all speak and move slowly - maybe this was some clever mechanism ? or it could have been dull acting and unispired direction . i really did try to find redeeming features : humour , irony , a whiff of spoof , but failed . those who have rated this with five stars must have been cast members .
a robbery at heathrow airport stirs up trouble between the four rival crime syndicates dominating the london underworld - particularly when the most corrupt inspector in the metropolitan police and a feared indian hitman get involved . crime drama , starring manish patel and dave courtney .

a woman is forced into a deadly game in which she has to kill five people or all her friends and family will be butchered .
this is probably the worst film i have ever seen , and i ' ve watched some pretty bad films . to be fair , the camera work is pretty good for a low budget movie , but the acting and script are really , really poor , especially the acting .
lucy and dean are a match made in hell , but who will come out on top ? revenge is a dish best served cold . .

many thanks to michael carrington for sending me a cd rom of material from and about the film , which has enabled me to produce this page .
the only thing actually interesting in the film is the idea of smuggling cocaine in the food , but that ' s it . and even that little shimmer of creative hope just simply isn ' t bright enough to offer any redeeming qualities whatsoever . the movie is a sham and a joke . it was first released into independent cinemas in 2003 , so it ' s taken seven years to get this garbage onto dvd . i ' m really not surprised . whoever wrote the quote on the box art that it ' s the best british gangster film since lock stock and two smoking barrels is quite frankly a complete and utter moron .
no doubt this is an excellent film and does show a glimpse of the gang violence going on in london , and so far gone unnoticed in asian ethnic minority areas such as southall , where crime is rife . asians should now come out of the awful typecast they have been stuck in , i look forward to more .
well where do i start . firstly i love movies and can usually endure anything . i even managed to sit out 2012 . i have a home cinema system and when i put this on i thought i had my amp on the wrong setting . putting aside the movie for a sec . the audio on this movie is a mess . its louder than the dialogue and takes you right out of the story . its almost offensive in places as then the chinese gansters are on screen the music has a chinese gong type sound to it . the indian parts have cittars ( apologies for the spelling ) in places . onto the movie . my guess is the director loves guy richie and tarantino and has tried to do his own version and failed badly . shot in arty grainy black and white ( so bad it looks like a pirate copy ) it sticks to quick camera cuts every 10 seconds . its like watching an mtv show like punkd . very tiring after a few minutes . the sad thing is the story is pretty good but again , ruined by the soundtrack and some dodgy acting . there is a scene where the 2 gang leaders have a meeting whilst their henchmen watch each other menacingly . then they all pull guns out and start yelling at each other . yeah ! yeah ! come on then . . . . it descends into grange hill directed by steven segal . forgot to mention the henchmen all wear long dark coats and wear sunglasses ( indoors in dark clubs ) and goatee beards . yes its that bad . the whole movie jars you all the way . you really want to get on with the story but the constant cuts and music just irritate . it is not arty or clever . i would say its like its been made by 1st year film students but that would be offensive to them . a totally wasted opportunity . if you want a good low budget gangter movie without a load of tired old gimmicks watch shifty .
it also has a spiritual strain running through it and depicts goddess kali in some form in every shot . patel is planning to do two more films on indian gang culture in the near future to form a trilogy . for now , it is cannes that dominates patel ' s plans . john travolta has agreed to come for the screening at cannes and kevin spacy ' s agent has been in touch regarding the film and its release . from southhall to cannes has been a long journey .
a tale of love , intrigue , crime , passion , espionage and more importantly a veritable work of art . transcending zeitgeist to join the pantheon of the gods in eternity .
so many bodies are left in the wake of the gang warfare and not a single squib is used , not even a single spray of blood . this is a low - budget independent movie , but that ' s no excuse for not using squibs in a near two - hour film . the film - makers , if you can call them that , really need to read robert rodriguez ' s book and see how he made el mariachi on a shoestring . throughout the running time you see the same weapons used over and over again , and i think they were just plastic bb guns to be perfectly honest . gunshots are illustrated by the addition of a white flash on the screen , and on the odd occasion you get to see hellishly , infuriatingly bad cgi thrown into the mix . no one in the film deserves to work near movies again . cinematic abortion . burn every copy you can find .
uk film premiere . based on the novel the stone shiva by manish patel , the film centres on the holy smokes crime syndicate and the real - life $ 6 million heathrow airport robbery .
i ' ve watched this film from start to finish and loved it . so you all get a clear idea the whole flim was done in ten days and filmed on a hand held video camera the sound track was great i ' m currently trying to find some of the songs from it . with the space of time they had and filming equipment i give it 10 / 10 great job ignore the haters on here whom seam to think they know anything about acting its a great film if you like to look at other films instead of the hollywood big buget rubbish ! ! !
a truly awful film , appears to have been made with worse production values that a 70s porn film and with a very limited vocabulary on the dialogue . avoid at all costs despite the clever name
west london is ruled by the ' holy smokes ' crime syndicate . at their head is the ruthless chacha ( jas bassi ) . his mob includes various psychopathic killers , pimps , and drug dealers .
i thought this film was going to be a bit of a lock , stock rip - off but what i saw was something new . it ' s got a real cutting edge feel about it and shows the british asian community in a new but violent light ! i would urge readers to watch this film because it does blow away the misconceptions we see regularly on tv regarding asian culture and family life .
with all the hype , i was looking forward to this and . . . oh dear , oh dear , oh dear . . . imagine your local am dram group having a crack at reservoir dogs and you ' re about there . this is awful . the best performance , surprisingly , comes from dave courtney who basically plays himself , though having said that he doesn ' t overact or heighten what he is . it ' s a strong commendable performance . the film compares itself to ' lock , stock & two smoking barrels ' . the truth is it ' s just not in the same league . it ' s ' crossroads on crack ' and it stinks .
the story of a bad boy hoodie & his gang that dominate their zone on a notorious south london estate , and five families struggle with every day crime . police corruption is at a high & residents are pushed to the limit .
screenjabber began life as the desire of a pair of film journalists to bring proper film writing to the internet – with a lot less exclamation marks . now , as an established media company , we pride ourselves on the quality of our writing and our passion for genuine entertainment criticism . we are an independent voice , confident of our own opinions and staffed by professional journalists . so welcome to screenjabber – we hope you love whatever is on the screen as much as we do .
determined to rip away territory from rival gangs , each outfit is extreme in performing acts of imaginatively cruel revenge and obtaining power… some fight to keep what they’ve ripped away from other gangs , some are fighting to keep what they fought to own .
packed full of tongue - in - cheek humor , the film features gritty but cool action sequences and inspired levels of violence creating a dark comedy in the gangster genre mould , made greater in its realistic portrayal by the past of its star .
my boyfriend finally persuaded me to watch this film with him as he has recently got me into british gangster films such as ' lock stock ' and ' reservoir dogs ' . after watching the theatrical trailer which is on the extras , we weren ' t expecting much . we sat for about 30 minutes waiting for it to finally kick in . the amateur acting and shoddy camera work reminded me of a tacky music video rather than ' the best british gangster film since lock stock ' .
larry malone sets up his brother dave to get rid of murphy , a rival gang leader , and then informs on dave to have him convicted of murder . in one simple act of double - dealing he , . . . see full summary »

i decided to rent this film after reading the synopsis and thinking that it sounded pretty good . it was not . it it one f the worst films i have ever seen . from the acting to the plot t the horrible camera work . it was terrible !
one of the best movies this year . without spoiling the film too much , there are a lot of expected bloodbaths , drugs , racism , funny scenes and even funnier one - liners . it ' s definitely worth a watch and miles better than tarantino ' s kill bill , the other ' unconventional ' film of the year that was hyped up to be something that its not . the humour in this film plays a small part to a serious plot , so dont expect another ' usual asian comedy ' , but it works extremely well .
i cannot over emphasize how shite this film is , i am a big fan of gangster movies and other genres . this film makes the worst danny dyer flick look like the long good friday ! i cant tell you how poor this movie is . it is to film what australian soaps are to serious dramas . whoever rated this movie beyond 2 stars has either no taste or is a friend of one of the actors or director and so cant publicly slag it off . you could be high af and still find this slow and painful to watch . nothing is done well in this film , it remind me of a production done by sixth formers with the plot written by 11 year olds . the sound effects don ' t even match whats happening on screen ( no not a synch time lag issue ) i mean the wrong sounds , imagine a goose going moo . this is a lesson of how not to make a movie . there is no comic relief either so this can ' t even blag that its a satirical parody . if you ever see the people who made this dull as dishwater picture ask them who paid them and then sell that company any old bollocks for a cash return . honestly this review is a better bit of literature , i wouldnt go as far as saying i am seeking therapy for this movie , ( that would give the idea that it had an effect on me which would require some quality at some level which it sorely lacks ) but it was fecking painful to watch and bored the hole off of me to the point that i had to turn to the samaritans as i lost the will to live . the cia could use this to torture someone . this film was worse than watching a live abortion at the 30 week stage using a toasting for attached to the drive shaft of a leyland van
stuart o ' connor is the managing editor of screenjabber , the movie review website he co - founded with neil davey far too many years ago . he likes all genres , as long as the film is good ( although he does enjoy the occasional bad
guilty pleasure
) , and drinks way too much coffee .
the worst piece of garbage i ' ve ever seen . so bad that i turned it off half way through and binned it . when they fire guns it looks like lasers come out , the acting is so wooden it ' s not even funny , worst excuse for a gang film i ' ve ever seen , do not buy !
this is a satisfying beginning from a group of new film - makers who are well on their way to promoting new talent ( brilliant performances by ashvin - kumar joshi & peter peralta ) and hopefully changing the course of british asian film - making with no stereotypical roles . an inspiring indie film that goes for the jugular with nods to various cinematic styles along the way .
having missed it in bradford , i managed to catch a showing in leicester square - a truly great effort from film - makers of the future , the pace , music and of course the acting were superb . i look forward to working with one of the actors ( ashvin - k joshi ) in the near future . well done , the film deserves a general release .
full of quick cuts ala mtv . it ' s ok ish on mtv as the quick cuts are a prelude to a clip , song etc but throughout a movie it ' s just tiring . bad gangster cliches too . blokes in long coats staring at each other across a table whilst their goatee bearded henchen look on menacingly . dear oh dear . to add insult to injury the soundtrack is the worst ive ever heard . it ' s too loud and drowns out the dialogue ( maybe it was intentional ) . awful acting , direction , soundtrack . don ' t waste your time . it ' s not cool or gritty either .

quiet possibly one of the best pieces of film ever produced . amazing what just a bunch of lads could do with just a handheld cam corder ! inspiring !
pathetic film which portrays the holy smokes in accurately & offensively , does not do much justice to other gangs either .
this exquisite feature film is truly one of the hits of 2003 . the sepia overtones invoked oscar - winning classic schindler ' s list but there was far greater acting ability on show , . . .

where do i start ? words cannot describe how awful this film is . but i ' ll have a go . it ' s so terrible that i actually had to restrain myself from giving it no stars at all , which is something , along with ½ star ratings , that i just don ' t do .

poor pathetic sh - - the only good thing is the drag queen courtney in the flick , & what a drag queen he is , he dont know the front to the back of a bus let alone a gun or acting , his life has been one big act the only time he will get his 15 minutes of fame is in the obituaries . dont waist you hard earned on this trash .

i bought this because i like gangster films . i am annoyed i spent £2 on it . somebody should have paid me to watch it . it was such a poor film it was painful to watch , i switched it off before the end , which is something i have never done before . do not buy this film ! in fact , even if somebody gives you it for free , don ' t watch it . i wish i didn ' t have to give it one star .
i will add another 1 star . so crap i keep going off it .
did i miss something . cliche ridden tosh made worse by overblown audio on soundtrack
