I know that not every British gangster flick should be measured against Guy Ritchie's work. And, to be fait, I Against I is nothing like Ritchie's work - in other words it's pretty awful. Whereas as Ritchie can make a complex narrative with numerous characters come together and let the viewer easily make sense out of it, I Against I just seems to want to play around with the narrative structure for the sake of it Basically, it's a jumbled mess. Again, the far superior Pulp Fiction moved beginning to end and vice versa and got away with it. Some films can do that. This one can't. Scenes seem to happen in random order, making it increasingly hard for the viewer to follow what's happening.Then there's the characters - who cares about them? They're not particularly likable and the fact that the story's told out of order makes it hard to keep track of them.A low budget British gangster film without any major names attached to it was always going to be hard work. And indeed it was.

Great cinematography, with a dark plot set to explode and confuse you along the way. A bit to much driving around in a few parts of the film but well thought, could have done with a nice car chase but hey budget was tight and it worked out okay in the end. Good acting from the cast with a well thought out plot. Looking forward to seeing the evolution of his next films. The dark theme contrasted with the back drops of London, which was nice to see. Some parts were a tad bit violent but added to the suspense. Unsure why there are some bad reviews as it was thoroughly enjoyed by all of us ignore the bad remarks and make another. Keep the cameras rolling.

I saw this movie couple days ago, and it was not even slightly enjoyable. I have to say I forced myself to finish it just because it was movie night and I paid for it.The only entertainment me and my friends had during it, was making fun of how stupid it is. I expected so much more.Story is rather unbelievable, even tho we normally suspend disbelief for this type of movie. They could have added zombies to this disaster and it would have made no difference.I did not get this movie at all. Why did guy kill his father? Why did guy kill himself? What was supposed to be terrifying bad guy is really just based on some spoiled 40 year old, living with his parents. I had a friend like that once, and maybe if both of guys parents were present in movie, and he was not a gangster and his mother kept nagging him, maybe I can see why he kills them, hikkomori's do crazy things all the time. But to believe crime boss is doing it and behaving like some spoiled overgrown child, it just makes no sense.This is my first review, and I am not professional, just a guy that likes watching foreign movies, so don't hate. This one is just a total miss as far as I am concerned.

... and I regret that decision. I was hoping that there would be something watchable, something redeemable about this movie. Truthfully it is just very boring movie.Scenes are placed out of order. Lots of movies do that as plot divide. Except, in this movie, its nonsensical. Entire movie happens over course of one night. Not only that, but I got feeling that they used filler just to reach 84 minutes so it will be OK for cinema duration guideline. What that means is, script might have been meant for 15 minute sketch. They stretched that 15 minutes into 84 minute bore-fest.I try to find little bit of good in everything. But I find this movie lacking at everything it tried to be. It tries to glorify murdering own parent, torture, Russian roulette, and killing people. But it does so tastelessly, stupidly, without tact or sense, and without organized time-line.If I did not commit myself to seeing entire movie so I can give it fair review, I would not have bothered to finish watching it. As a matter of fact it took me three attempts to get through its 84 minutes as first two it was putting me to sleep.Having endured this movie, I would have to advise others against watching it.
