CONS: Overly busy plot + cast list, Cheap A.F camera, Crap performances, absalbloodyloute dog of an endingPROS: Good atmosphere, Great locations, Well Written (not acted) Characters, One great set piece (The botched assassination)My conclusion is that it's a descent directorial effort that lacks dramatic weight to fully justify it's running time and the tiring self- importance. OK Brit-Noir.

Once more the UK crime film industry shows a so awkward and terrible movie, as directing I mean, and also acting. But, sorry, I really loved this film, especially the Charlie's character. An old timer who gets back to business to save his nephew. He is so poignant,I could not prevent myself to fell empathy for him, feel pain in during the torture sequences. The final shoot out is so badly made, the directors are really amateurs, but I don't really care, as far as this story is a very bleak but also dark one, when SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS nearly every one in this feature dies in the end. There are tons of this kind in the UK crime movies from this era. I will try to see them all.

I love gangster films but this effort was too amateurish to get beyond 30 mins of viewing. If you were to get your mates out the pub & play pretend gangsters you'd end up with this result - worthless outside your circle of friends and family. What was the point of employing the fat blonde girl , how hard is it to find competent actors ? It's not the low budget that undermines this film it was that it reeked of a vanity project, wooden actors , terrible set direction & not one professional involved in the effort. The only person that (based on 30 mins of viewing) could be given a pass was the script writer , the script itself could of worked in more capable hands.

Loud mouthed plastic wannabee gangsters poor story line which jumps all over the place. The viewer simply cant follow what is going on or which characters have done what to whom.Poor acting has hindered any real enjoyment even for fans of the Gangster genre.If some time and more thought had of been given to casting to gain just one or two good actors this would of been better.Unfortunately what we have here a multitude of mismatched characters to further confuse the story played by as it seems anyone who turned up on the day. The lines were delivered with no real conviction leaving the film feeling flat with no real impact
