Just plain stupid

Rating: 1/10 (20 April 2011)

I don't think I will get to the end of this film, its just plain awful. Why anyone thought it was a good idea is beyond me. The characters are just stereotypes of cockney wide boys who are addicted to violence, half the time their inane mumblings are barely audible. The script reminds me of badly thought through BA Film Studies students shorts that I had to mark. The whole thing smacks of desperation and is awfully uncinematic with far too many shots taking place inside dimly lit pubs and grimy streets. The dialogue is appalling and there just isn't any redeeming quality to these people. Now I don't have an objection to dark and gritty films, what I have an objection to are films that fail to portray a single redeeming quality. Honour amongst thieves or in this case, honour amongst hooligans just rings hallow.
