For a film with no budget, no script and no actors I certainly wasn't expecting much. However I was pleasantly surprised. This puts most of the current crop of so called British Gangster movies to shame. It's gritty, and thanks to the scenes being ad-libbed by real, let's call them... naughty boys, it has a realism that has been sadly lacking in recent offerings. I loved the pacing, and the no frills, linear story-line. The events in the film occur in much the same way as events do in real life, and it leaves you feeling like you got off a bus in Liverpool, watched some stuff go down and then got back on the bus. I really like this film a lot, and though I don't know if it would stand up to multiple viewings a la snatch and lock stock, I'll definitely be watching it a second time to nail down the little nuances I may have overlooked. Definitely worth a watch if you're into Brit Crime, though non English audiences may struggle with the harsh Liverpool accent. A solid 8 out of 10
