    Worth a watch on a rainy afternoon. Violent, but in a late night TV kind of way. Craig Fairbrass delivers exactly what is required and it's nice to see Robert Glenister on the screen (his brother Philip is all over UK TV at the moment).

    Was not expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised. What it lacks in gloss it makes up for in grit. A truly realistic exposition of life on the wrong side of the law. The characters are likewise believable and the acting exceptional at times. This comes together to create some truly visceral moments. Izuka Hoyle was brilliant in the final scene, and the directors choice to linger on such emotional moments is very powerful.

    Well acted and a notch up from the usual London gangster film. Fairbrass carries it well
  • Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
    A street level hard man movie with personality and humanity which avoids the invulnerable fearless protagonist trope of Statham type movies. The story unfolds artfully with some striking camera work and editing, unusual for the genre.The violence still packs a punch and should still satisfy those looking for an action/ revenge movie.

    After a slow start this turns into a gripping stomach churner! You know it's going to end badly but you don't expect this! Well worth watching. Craig Fairbrass is excellent as the wronged brother who tries to do right by his family.

    Started off like it was going somewhere. Nice to have a tragedy, but I didn't feel much for a villain who'd been out of jail for a week and went right back to crime. A little focus on some characters that mattered would have been better.

    I thought this film would be a low budget ‘okay to watch' type of film. However, from the start until the end I was thoroughly engulfed in the excellent acting, production and direction and have now watched it twice. I would put this at the top of the Craig Fairbrass cinematography list and recommend it to all who like this genre of film. To sum up, SUPERB!!!

    A good, easy watching, short east end gangster movie. A bit of action and story

    I really like supporting British movies and this is not a film for the budget they got.

    It's essentially The Last Of Us 2 but in Essex
