Storyline

Tony Cole knows that for the last ten years he's been caught in a downward spiral. Selling drugs was never a crime, but it was never meant to be his career. Now he's frustrated with his mundane daily routine and can no longer live with the constant threat of getting caught. But Tony doesn't realise that his middle class customers will never accept him as anything but a drug dealer and that the criminal underworld will brutally hold onto its own. His plans for a legitimate future go fatally wrong, framing him for both theft and murder. Manipulated by those he trusts and deserted by those he loves, Tony has only twelve hours to save his life. His only choice is to sink deeper into a sordid world in a desperate attempt to claw his way back out.

User Reviews

Absolutely dreadful

Being a big fan of UK based films I was really looking forward to this,BIG mistake.The opening 30 minutes left me open mouthed at how this "film" had actually made it through any kind of screening,it was so bad I was embarrassed watching it and for the "actors".

It's so slow paced and the dialogue between the two main characters is painful to watch,these two give wooden actors a bad name,as do their girlfriends.There's a scene where the four of them go out for a drink and it's just cringe worthy,the whole thing is just so terribly acted I had to watch just to actually believe what I was seeing.

The storyline is a tired one of drug dealing gone wrong and having to get so much money by a certain time but it's just so poorly done and so atrociously acted you don't care for any of the characters.

All I would say to anyone considering watching this is don't,you'll never get that time back.If you really want to get an idea of just HOW bad then watch the first 10 minutes,you'll know by then that it's a car crash unfolding in super slow motion.Surely this will be the end of the careers of the two main characters.We can only hope.
