Review of Basement

Basement (2010)
4/10
Badly acted and filmed but for some reason i quite enjoyed it.
2 May 2013
I read the reviews of this film prior to watching it and needless to say I wasn't expecting much. The reviews are pretty much spot on, this is a strange film which is badly filmed and badly acted. Very little happens the plot doesn't make much sense and the editing is appalling.

Danny Dyer gets a lot of bad press but I happen to quite like him unfortunately this is by far the worst performance i've seen him put in. It's almost as if he realised this was rubbish and couldn't be bothered. Jimmi Mistry is terrible, the girls are more convincing but no more than adequate.

For all it's many flaws however at least the film kept me watching and therefore I can't say it's anywhere near the worst film i've ever seen. There are one or two decent moments and I quite liked the ending. I probably wouldn't watch it again but on the basis I got to the end without being too bored i'll give it a probably generous 6.
