Shooters Trailers

Shooters is a drama documentary film, directed by Dan Reed for Suspect Device Films. The film is set in Liverpool and used local criminals as actors depicting the lives of local 'gangsters'. It is most notable for having been completely unscripted apart from a brief outline; each scene was improvised and ad-libbed by the actors themselves.

..... The best UK Gangster Film ever made.Let's just say the portrayals are in every case, convincing.Love to know how these lads are getting on 15 years later. My son meet a couple of them when he was up in Liverpool a few years ago and apparently the are "Sound La's"I think a couple of the fella's did other acting gigs but it seems that no one made the big time. Shame as clearly, on the whole, most of them were naturals.If you've not watched it, it's floating about on some of the Kodi add- ons.Absolutely worth a watch!!

This is a unique crime drama slash documentary type production, All the roles are played by non actors and are some way or other part of the criminal underworld. Loosely based on some events and underworld changes that took place in Liverpool in the 1990's this is a gritty realistic and mostly unpleasant look at that that time. It is also a story of every city or town in the world and their lowlife inhabitants and how their everyday dealings and actions impact on the community and mainly each other. This is an interesting look at gangsters without out the glamorous rose tinted spectacles and it really shows how there is no honour amongst thieves. Don't expect a type of Goodfellas story with a nice musical score, lots of fashion and lots of models. What you see is what you get.

ill be honest in my opinion the film was crap. thats just my opinion by the way. at first before watching i thought yeah its gonna be real violent with some good fights and some real violent criminals, i watched it and was let down so so much.this film needs soo much 'sprucing' up. its not THAT violent, it has like three or four violent scenes and in at least one of them they leave it to your imagination. the storyline is crap (in my opinion) the 'thugs' are lame, i probably didn't like this movie as i read other people views on it first and they made it sound good so i watched it with high expectations which is why i dislike it soo much.basically this film is a low budget, drama based in liverpool with not even a Z list celebrity, i haven't seen any of the actors before. the violence contained is short and quick, and its a let down unless u like this sort of thing WHICH i can see why some people would

An unscripted C4 drama/documentary directed by Dan Reed, set in Liverpool UK. Depicting the lives of 'gang' members involved in drugs and crime in Liverpool : circa 1990/2000. What a film... 'Shooters' caused outrage when it was first broadcast over Christmas 2000 on Channel Fours 'Cutting Edge' series. It has since become 'The cult Brit gangster film'.Dan Reeds attempt to illustrate the background behind 'David Ungi's' shooting in Liverpool in the mid-90's. Acted out by the 'kidders' in the know.If you are a fan of the 'gangster genre' of films. This is a must see.The film is available from HMV and Amazon.
