Ray:- `Wheres he from then?', Sean:- `Wrexham'
12 February 2002
At last a film that mentions my hometown!! In the last scene of the film gang boss Ray (Ray Winstone) asks rival gang boss Sean (Sean Pertwee) about his henchman Matthew (Rhys Ifans) `Wheres he from, the lad?' Sean answers under his breath `Wrexham' – well in fact fellas, Rhys hails from just up the road in Rhuthin.

Not a bad film, I have my suspicions that much of the dialogue was improvised and I realised that most of the characters in it shared their first names with the actor playing them, which was unique. Obviously inspired by the popularity of LOCK STOCK AND 2 SMOKING BARRELS, this was one of the better clones (Hardmen and Rancid Aluminium being by far the worst). The kind of film that a group of lads should watch with a few beers on a Saturday night after the footy.
