I watched this on Film4 the other night and while I wasn't expecting a full blown classic I felt cheated by its awfulness - the acting, the lack of plot and the ear aching 80s soundtrack.
The film basically marketed itself as a British crime drama set in a London nightclub and it's gangland activity around it. It stars Ray McAnally and Jamie Foreman amongst the familiar faced cast (in early roles) as the nightclub owner as the stereotyped loser respectively.
The film basically didn't have a main character focus (despite it's little trickery at the beginning) and gives you an assortment of characters including an annoying gay prostitute pimp, a harassed reporter, a spoilt bullying nightclub dancer and her stereotypical loser boyfriend, an arrogant gangster wannabe looking for business interests,a boxer,a veteran nightclub owner, an American tycoon with a rough gay fetish, a woman looking for love and a naive teenage Geordie looking for his pal Mick.
It appears that the so-called plot is trying to build up for some kind of finale but that is ever really delivered.
The movie is completely awful and I understand why it's so obscure. The 1 star awarded is for seeing how many familiar faces in the movie in very early roles including an Eastenders regular, a known face from Minder and a future fireman in London's Burning.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
