Stephen D @sjhdearden Apr 5, 2025 A successful low-budget British film with no pretensions. You need to commit to the first 45 mins before the drama/dark humour takes off. Think suburban homicidal Brighton crime family echoing 'The Godfather' but with more wit. Excellent use of folk music interludes increases the sense of strangeness with the characters. See more James H @RT63835098 Sep 25, 2024 Wow- just wow. This no-budget gangster movie is insane and insanely funny - in an odd way. See more Ravenswood R @RT16435246 Sep 14, 2023 This is like watching one episode in the middle of a possibly good TV series, without seeing any of the other episodes. It is shot with very little creativity or any attempt at artful photography or scene set-ups Photographically, there is only ever one level of lighting used (room filling, cool, and bright), and shaky cameras moving from person to person - like a TV show. So, as cinema art, this is low on the spectrum. There are characters here, but far too many, and not enough time to develop any of them. I couldn't follow the story, mostly trying to keep all the people straight and who they all were and what they all might be doing, or for what reason. Violent at times, in a supposedly humorous way, but that does not work. Given a chance to figure it all out in a 10-12 hour series rather than in a 90 minute slice might have worked, but maybe not, because this is also quite boring. See more Mar 21, 2017 Very much Ben Wheatley. Ordinary reactions to extraordinary circumstances. A good story, kitchen sink in full view, but I didn't see enough of the dark humour that was suggested in the reviews. Loved whatserface from Spaced playing the mum... See more Apr 12, 2016 Definitely more low end gangster, it's very watchable in a slightly comedic way with an impending sense of dread and doom present throughout. See more Mar 8, 2016 Brilliant, sick, funny, claustrophobic first feature by Ben Wheatley about a crime family searching for a police informer in their midst. More Royale Family than The Godfather.
