Layer Cake is one of my fav. movies. It's amazing how many of its actors went onto "super stardom".Although this film isn't quite in the same league, I really enjoyed how often the director kept pulling surprises on me, time after time. It became quite absorbing, waiting to see if once again, I had the "wrong end of the stick." Sure, a few flat sections, but the dramatic scenes more than make up for it. Great views of London too.

What can I say...total and utter load of rubbish. Bad story, bad script, bad acting. Even with Alan Ford drafted in to play the character as he did in Snatch (Brick Top) it still couldn't be saved. Lots of faces from other Brit Gangster movies but you get the impression they showed up for an hour, filmed their scenes, got paid and pissed off home in time for Eastenders.

Plot lines are either too predictable or they are too implausible to work. The female love interest has as much charisma as a mattress, the two goons searching for the lead character are like Bill and Ben, one is a Welsh hitman who goes by the name of 'The Viper'....because British hitmen always have names that sound like characters in X Men!!!

Do not waste your time people, 5 reviews in 4 years really does sum this movie up.

Possible midpoint plot spoiler.

Brad Walker (Matt Di Angelo) gets his walking papers in the first few minutes of the film and his girlfriend also leaves him (Anna Passey) for his friend Tom (Christian Brassington). While doing a few lines on a bowl in a nightclub he overhears about a drop-off which he copies down because...he does. Then by coincidence the car doing the drop off just so happens to stop in front of the little cafe he is sitting at...facing the license plate of said car. While the driver leaves for a quick pit stop, Brad steals the car, makes the drop, collects the cash in what would seem to be a clean get away. Not only unbelievably do the bad guys figure out it is him, but a high price mobster prostitute lands in his lap the same day.

Now I don't mind one or two freakish events in a story. Heck, if you are going for a weird cult film, the more the merrier. However this film lacks the over the top grindhouse style to get away with a bunch of stuff that just wouldn't happen. I found the main characters to be dull. Our two stooges who botched things up were the only decently written characters as the talked about films, i.e. "Godfather vs Star Wars."

Could have been better.

F-bomb, sex, nudity (Lili Bordán, Anna Passey, Lindsay Armaou, Funda Önal, Nicola Kelleher ?)
