Full English Breakfast Trailers

Through flashbacks, Full English Breakfast follows the violent career of Dave Bishop (Dave Courtney) a small-time London villain who kills his way to the top of Britain's drugs empire. Now happily 'retired' on the Kent coast Dave becomes embroiled in a bloody battle of wits with Al Qaeda terrorists who want to take over his criminal empire. Adding to the old mobster's woes is his younger trophy wife (Lucy Drive) wanting to play away with his new driver (Jamie Bannerman).

I have never rated a film 1 out of 10, but this is an absolutely terrible film and nobody should waste their time on it, with seriously poor production, script, it's one of those films that makes your skin crawl whilst watching it.The whole audio track appears to be have remastered / dubbed because it doesn't fit the lip movements of the actors, characters supposedly having recently arrived in the UK from Afghanistan speak in strong East London accents.For what little plot there is, the pacing is bad, slow and conversational throughout, there is just nothing to like, and it's shocking that this film is almost 2 hours long!Any scenes involving violence are poorly staged and clearly no stunt experts were in play, just some make-up artists that create wounds after the effect to make it look like something has happened!

We Brits are known for the amazing films that have been cinematically released over the years. Films like Get Carter, Quadrophenia, This I England, Trainspotting, Snatch, Sexy Beast etc. British films are very distinctive, popular and great.However on the other side of the spectrum are the straight to DVD British films. Films like Essex Boy's Retribution and the million and one Danny Dyer films. Which are all tripe. This film fits it. The unnecessary gratuitous violence which doesn't know where to stop and which just gets more and more uncomfortable. The bad acting and laughably bad cockney accents. Uninspired direction and cinematography. Awful color correction and grading. And the sound design isn't to great either. I think film Britain has to get out of the mentality of making bad straight to DVD films. There is general talent out there that needs to be found. Because when the talent is found we won't see films like Full English Breakfast.

Firstly, there is no way on God's earth this movie did $3.3million at the box office. I watched this in disbelief. It must have cost a tenner to make, it seemed like an embarrassing uni project. How this even got financed is beyond me. Someone somewhere said "you know what? This is a bloody good script, lets make it and get the cream of British actors to star in it". Well that person deserves to be locked up in a mental hospital. The only good thing to come out of this movie is the fact that it has given hope to all the new up and coming film makers. This is what you're up against folks, the bar couldn't get any lower. I don't know if it was made ironically as a spoof homage to all the bad gangster movies out there, if it was then great work but somehow I don't think it was. However, I urge anybody to watch this to see how unbelievably bad it really is. Take special notice of the sound effects in all the fight scenes. Priceless.

I don't post film reviews normally but I felt I needed to come on here and give this plucky little fighter a leg up because it seems to get smeared and trolled by people that just don't get it.This is a wonderfully written story of love, revenge, and loyalty. It doesn't have a Hollywood budget or famous cast - save for the one and only Mr Dave Courtney OBE, a British institution and one of the most well recognised faces in modern underground British crime cinema - but it has talented direction, compelling performances, rocking great soundtrack and a lot of heart.I'm not going to go into detail about the plot and characters - they are yours to discover. But be sure that there's something in this little gem of a film for everyone: romance, violence, dramatic and engaging story (with lots of suspension and dread) and the most incredible twists.If you like crime flicks and you're a film connoisseur, not another mindless sheep like a lot of the juveniles trolling this page then you are not going to be disappointed with this superb little work of art.
