    If you are used to watching proper movies you might not want to bother with this.

    Budget movie by an practically unknown writer/director.

    I suspect few people have seen it, if they did they didn't bother writing any (positive) reviews. Anything under an eight could've been understandable if they like these level/kind of movies. But 10's and 9's, that's just beyond reality.

    As for my review: The acting was ok, the camera work was decent enough. However the plot and characters just felt shallow, they were just to 2D, if they were fleshed out a bit more maybe viewers could relate or at least be invested in them. It's the kind of movie you might watch if there's nothing else on TV, but then again, you might want to just turn it off and read a book or something.

    Real

    This depicts gritty British film perfectly. People giving any less than 5 star don't see the value in reality that the films shows or they have never met someone like Pep ( Central Actor ). Acting was fantastic for a low budget film. 100 percent worth a watch. The action and comedy keeps you watching throughout. The film also paces itself well from giving you a real idea of the character you are watching and transitions into someone getting caught up in his own beliefs. The viewer constantly feeling sympathetic but also concerned for the path he is leading. Never a dull moment in this film and would love to see more written in this style.

    Don't Believe the Haters. Excellent Film

    This is a good, gritty small budget British film. Excellent acting from all concerned. Lead actor Simon Cassidy is a name to watch. Highly recommended.
