    Wow, wow, wow
    There is a lot more to this movie than the title/synopsis tells.

    Very well directed, but the consistent high acting from everyone especially the teenagers, is amazing. The character development(and changes) catches you off guard....in a good way.

    It is advertised as two brothers on the streets of London, but it is really a coming-of-age story about how environment/people influence what we are and what we do. It is a slow-moving movie, so do not expect 'Gangs of New York' or some type of gangster action movie. This movie is for those that enjoy a good drama that you can remember after watching it.

    Recommended those like good old fashion movie-making, without the CGI, high body count or overpriced actors who can't act.
