Usual depiction of drugs, guns and knife crime being not just the best but the only way ethnic minorities, be they Black or Asian can make a decent living. Am I being racist, or are the film makers, I'd love to see a film were an Asian or Black family travel to Britain, overcome the bigotry and work hard to create a successful business. This sort of stuff goes down well with the metropolitan sort, I.E. those who hand out awards. Then shock, horror when the townies and villagers say if that's immigration stop it, we don't want it here. Films like this are counter productive, they tend to excuse violent criminal behaviour amongst minorities as their only option. All criminals, be they White, Black or Asian simply want easy money without working hard for it.

i seen a review about how bad it was after watching it but stop talking poop mate you think this film is racist but nope you're wrong! i actually thought it was going to be another stupid English film in a block of flats but no this one actually had a story to it.not to give anything away but give it a watch i enjoyed it.

Sally El-Hossani's low-key film 'My Brother the Devil' tells the story of a family of petty gangsters in contemporary London, and of the difficulties of escaping expectations and obligations. It's hard to say why I didn't like this movie, but the plotting is a bit messy, and I found it very hard to identify with the characters, ordinary young men vying to make their way in the world. Normally, I dislike Hollywood narratives, but this is a film that struggles maybe could have done with one, or alternatively, with the sort of social context that a director like Ken Loach might have provided. As it is, it washed over me, leaving me unengaged.

You could cynically call this another "drug" movie that plays out, while using the backdrop of a family. A family that has more than a few issues obviously. But you wouldn't be fair to the movie if you did that. You might not be in the mood for the movie or you might have seen a similar formula being used before, but the movie is more than decent.You got two brothers (title is a bit of a give away), one deep inside the "business", the other one seeming to be too naive to be able to comprehend any of it. Still you can see that there is a lot of seduction (money, women, "fame") and it's difficult to resist. Or is it? Obviously things happen and evolve. While there is no nudity, sexuality plays a role, in case you were wondering.
