I find myself disagreeing with other comments, having discovered this film to be ridiculous and cringe-worthy.
It painted an absurd picture of London, the plot revealing abyss after gaping abyss. The laughably bad acting, combined with sudden and predictable jumps in the plot, almost led me to turn off the television at several points.
I can't believe that Taghmaoui is the same lad who was so well cast, and shone, in La Haine. If he's supposed to be Egyptian, why the strong French accent? I have seen Clémentine Célarié in Lawless Heart, and in this film she confirmed herself to me as a crummy actress.
I am aghast that this film was ever released, finding it as foolishly clumsy as Ali and Ahmed's shots at the snooker table.
