There are a number of things you can rely on in the British film industry: the two most common kinds of movies will be historical dramas (they travel), and comedies featuring stars from UK TV sitcoms (which, with some rare exceptions - Four Weddings And A Funeral, Johnny English and Shaun of the Dead - don't).Since the unprecedented success of Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels, there has been a third burgeoning genre - the London crime caper, often dressed up in sociologists' tweeds (see Kidulthood or the superior Bullet Boy), and whose cast has almost certainly served time in 'Casualty', 'EastEnders' and 'The Bill' (and in Simon Webbe, an ex-member of boy band Blue).Rollin' With The Nines belongs squarely in this latter camp, but mostly dispenses with issues-led subplots in favour of a shoddy gansta caper revolving around coke deals and London's grime music scene. The film actually looks like an extended promo for Dizzee Rascal, who cameos, and does in fact climax with the very same, featuring more mature cast members, like Billy Murray, gyrating apologetically like disco dads.Murray and Stone previously shared screen time in Hell To Pay, Dave Courtney's mind-boggling expose of the contemporary South London gangster scene which Rollin' superficially resembles, and they virtually reprise their roles here, as a drug lord and a bent cop respectively.It's with no small measure of predictability then, that Vas Blackwood and an unhappy-looking Jason Flemyng pop up in Rollin' too - a sop to its Lock, Stock heritage. Even Flemyng's underwritten police chief is just called Captain Flemyng - an unforgivable lack of imagination taking into account the other signposted names on show, like Rage, Karnage, Too Fine and the self-explanatory Temper ("They call me Temper for a reason...").There's a reasonably well-executed chase scene through a forest with police helicopters - quite striking in a UK film - Naomi Taylor is pretty good in her debut big screen role as the vengeful innocent-turned-drug-dealer Hope; and the soundtrack is at least credible. But if Rollin' had half the wit or dynamism of even Guy Ritchie's inaugural movie, it would have been a sight more enjoyable than this lazy, often dismally acted affair, calculated to appeal to 15-year-old schoolboys and Sizzla fans.Ultimately, there's not much difference between this and Summer Holiday. At least, if Cliff Richard and Una Stubbs had had their faces sprayed off by baying yardies.

and all about the black drug scene in London, who knew??? It's low budget, true, and it shows. Gets quite dodgy in parts, but once you make allowance for that this is a nice bit of entertainment, make you wince here and there, but hey,wincing is good. The actress who plays Hope is really quite good.Also nice to see a black story with lot's black cast etc coming out of the UK, make the world aware that them bombocloth Jamaicans got their scene going on under the queens nose.Good body count. The bust up in Carnage's place, gritty and that dump really looked like a dump. Nice use of a non-stick frying pan too!!! The portrayal of the cops is also gritty and interesting. All in all, a good use of 90 mins.I could go for a part two and three if it's this intense. Come on UK, do your stuff. Get a better budget and hit me baby one mo' time.

the other review for RWTN was published as a PR exercise by the film makers."You could polish a turkey and make his beak shiny but he will still be a turkey"this film has no good vibes, you are meant to go to cinema to be entertained not disgusted.Deeply offensive. not even cathartic* guns = glamour (or so this film decrees)would not be an issue but the makers use completely inappropriate tagging of their film that implies there is a sociological message to the piece when there is not, nothing clever about this clichéd endorsement of criminality

Well... If you think Chavs are interesting and exciting then watch this film. People with more than one brain cell will not like this film. The film is about black gangs dealing drugs. Gang members die because they decide that they're stepping on each others "turf". What a surprise. The film is incredibly boring and the rape scene makes you want to be sick. The film glorifies the gang culture. Sadly this film will stick in the minds of the many simple people who watch it and have a negative effect on society as a whole as it promotes the gangster (uk/chav gangster) lifestyle. Films like this should be banned.Don't waste your time on this peasant trash... .
