I rarely saw a so brutal, sadistic and fierce movie; that is not genuinely a horror movie I mean. Not a slasher but an ordinary British underworld tale, in the line of LONG GOOD Friday, GET CARTER, FREIGHT, RISE OF THE FOOT SOLDIER and I forget many ones. The kind of movies UK gives us so many since twenty years now, especially since the Tarantino style rise.I agree with the other comments which say that is garbage, meaningless and full of gratuitous violence. I admit that I was afraid of what I was about to watch. I was afraid to have spent my money in not the right way. But, what a surprise, I enjoyed that film. Because there is not real hero here. The lead is not a superman after all. On the contrary. He is a hood, OK, but for whom the audience may feel some empathy. The torture sequences, and not gunfights, are not for the squeamish, not for people around the table with the whole family eating poultry for dinner. No folks. It is REALLY a film with unbearable scenes in it. I saw many 70's exploitation and very violent movies, but not like this one. As far as I can remember. But maybe some user is able to say more, a more brutal feature. Why not?Garbage, yes, I respect this critic, but I loved this film.Period.

There is nothing good to say about this movie. It's another pointless, pitiful and deeply unpleasant movie by Darren Ward. He has been making this type of thing for years and he hasn't improved since the truly awful Sudden Fury many years ago.Its very very cheap. Production values are poor. The lighting is at times to dark to see what is going on and the sound makes it impossible to hear what is being said. However given the terrible level of acting and writing and directing involved this is probably not much of a loss.There are some positive reviews here and on other sites which can only be by people connected to the movie as no-one could possibly find this to be a 10/10 movie.Avoid.

Darren Ward directed this extremely violent gangster bloodfest, and he certainly delivers the goods. The story is about Mitchell (Nick Rendell), a money collector dispatched by a gangster boss to find some missing money. Movie begins with a really really hot sex scene, between Mitchell and his Wife, and then moves 24 months ahead with him lying dead on a morgue slab, with a huge hole in his stomach. The story is told by the dead man and recounts what happened to cause his gruesome death. The gangster boss believes he was robbed and when Mitchell goes to the guy they think did it, he finds the money and cuts the guys throat open, with lots of blood spray. Mitchell keeps the money, and then is called upon by an even meaner gangster boss to find his 100K, which Mitchell now has. This starts a rampage of some of the most extremely violent graphic bloody kill scenes you are likely to see in any movie. Ward really sets forth to create a splatterfest of the highest order. He succeeds with some great shootouts and one particular torture scene of a guy hanging by his feet from the ceiling. After beating the guy with clubs, for stealing money from the boss, what follows knocked me out of my chair. I've seen it all, believe me, but what they do to this guy made me flinch and is not easily forgotten, especially by men. Extremely bloody, gory, and Ward makes sure you see it all in nice bright bloody color. Every step of the way Mitchell takes with his psychopath partner leads to more kills, and more graphically detailed blood and guts. After the crime boss finds out it was Mitchell himself that stole his money, everybody goes after him. Big time shootouts, more kills, and I thought I was in heaven. There is NO WAY this cut Mr. Ward sent me will ever see the light of day in an American theater. But he intends on releasing it uncut and unrated, so lucky for everybody that likes this genre, you'll get to see what I saw in the screener. This is a very very brutal movie, but top notch acting by all involved, and great photography, make this a must-see for you fans of excessive violent movies. I didn't notice any CGI, just plain old very well staged practical makeup effects make this one a joy. There's a little Guy Ritchie, some Tarantino (ala Reservoir Dogs), but mostly Darren Ward (Sudden Fury) that creates a very memorable graphic gangster thriller. This movie is NOT to be missed, it scores on all levels. I loved it, and will buy it for sure, just to hear Mr. Wards commentary.

I had the pleasure of seeing this at it's premiere. And I feel compelled to comment on the quality of this excellent effort from Mr Ward and his merry crew. The story may not be the most original, but I feel that the execution was flawless, especially considering the budget limitations. The quality of the cast also helps lift the film from the gaggle of other low budget films available. Particularly of note was (Dr)Nick Rendell's excellent portrayal of the morally conflicted main character Mitchell - I look forward to seeing more of his work! The special effects used in the film also deserve applause (I think they may well have won an award), Particularly in the film's centrepiece scene (I won't spoil it for you). Just be warned - it is not for the feint of heart!! All in all, if you like a good old fashioned gangster film laced with lashings of both violence and gore then look no further than this superb effort. 10 out of 10. A word to the director - How about a follow up to the also excellent Sudden Fury? Please Mr Ward, Please!!
