OK so like quite a few others I got this because I'm a Gerard Butler fan. However, his role is relatively small, disappointed? A little but the movie itself is very good. Not sure I'd say it was better than Lock, stock but was an excellent movie.Like another comment said, much more realistic than a lot of American gangster type movies, with characters that are very believable and deals with the problems that come along with being a wannabe gangster.Have never seen Gerard Butler play a character like Jackie Jnr before but he certainly plays the role of a psycho pretty damn well. He's certainly an underrated talent as are many British actors. Definitely worth a look.

I rented this film because of the tagline stating it was in tradition of Lock Stock and Two Smoking barrels. The acting was superb, story well done, and direction, cinematography....everything just amazing.I have never seen or heard of any of the actors until I have seen this movie and I must say they did a phenomenal job.While all the actors were good the role of the kid who plays J's brother stands out. Even in a minor role his character really packed a punch.I definitely recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys "gangster" type films....there's hardly a dull moment and it keeps you watching and guessing. A+Go rent it!

Shooters is one of many pure British gangster films that are flooding today's movie channels on TV. It is a dark, twisted film that should be taken seriously, even if the movie itself is not to your ideal taste. It is accurate at portraying examples of particular events that might occur if the desperate underground life of English, Welsh and Irish mobsters were revealed to the world. Shooters follows a 'coke-snorting' Welsh gangster who is undergoing a series of different pressures from different aspects of his life including his wife, police and of course the gang leaders... I advise anyone who is interested in this genre of film to watch and understand, so one can form their own views on the state of British life on the 'other' side...

I think this movie is good but, it is kinda crappy at the same time. Perhaps it is the low budgets that makes the "finish" of the movie seem cheap. The actors are great, but the story never reaches higher than average. But the ride is still enjoyable to a degree. See it if u like english movies, like snatch and lock, stock ...
