The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Duh: this film is, like, REALLY unoriginal, not to say derivative; in fact it COMPLETELY and UTTERLY rips off another film, called "Honest", which was another film about three girls, all sisters, who pull off a heist in London during the 60s; the film starred three members of the all-girl rock group All Saints; there were originally four girls in that group, but one of them, Shaznay Lewis, was black, and the film's makers couldn't come up with a realistic scenario in which a family could have three white and one black biological sisters (Britain was, like, SO racist back then) in the 60s; the best solution the director could come up with was to "white-up" Shaznay with make up, which she would NOT consent to, so they went ahead without her AND dropped her from the group into the bargain; but Shaz got the last laugh because the film bombed HORRIBLY at the box office; the group broke up soon after.

What a load of rubbish!The only possible plus points to this film could be sexy scenes and sexy dialogue because the themes in the film constantly come back to sex, lesbianism and people in their underwear - however, even that is certainly not a positive because those sex scenes, dialogue and lesbian kisses are presented/directed so badly that they are not sexy or interesting in the slightest! There was a total lack of sexiness just a lot of boredom.In addition the rest of the film is total crap: the plot is muddled beyond belief and appallingly weak, the dialogue is pathetic and inane, the acting is bad and the direction and film making skills are lacking in all departments. Noel Clarke should stick to acting in supporting roles. Sad.

Written and co-directed by Noel Clarke (Kidulthood, Adulthood), I saw a trailer for this film and I was certainly intrigued by the simple but equally catchy title, so I wasn't going to miss it. Basically four friends, Joanne 'Jo' (Aquamarine's Emma Roberts), Shannon (Ophelia Lovibond), Kerrys (Adulthood's Shanika Warren-Markland) and Cassandra 'Cass' (Tamsin Egerton) who are unintentionally pulled into the theft of some stolen diamonds, and one by one we see their perspectives of how they get involved. First we see Shannon who has found out that her mother has left, leaving her father Mr. Richards (Sean Pertwee) depressed, and she loses her temper taking some spray paint cans and doing some graffiti. After nipping into the supermarket Jo works in she storms out and grabs a can of Pringles, and after saving her from being raped, the mysterious Kelly (EastEnders' Michelle Ryan) takes her to her place. She is looking for the tin of Pringles, as they contain the bag of stolen diamonds, and when Kelly starts to attack her Shannon just about manages to escape. Next we see Cass who is heading for New York to meet a man called 'Brett' she met on the internet, and they have sex, but she wakes up to see all her possessions have been taken. After finding one of the stolen diamonds in her remaining stuff she also finds the missing letter from Shannon's mother, and then she manages to find Brett's house, and he is in fact a nerdy online stalker, and the fake Brett turns up. Cass manages to tie both of them up to teach them a lesson for stealing her stuff, and escaping they encounter a black gang where Latisha ("Let Me Blow Ya Mind" rapper/singer Eve) is offended by fake Brett's racist stereotyping, while Cass heads back for London. Thirdly Kerrys is focused, she is a lesbian and has been spending quality time with girlfriend Jas (Susannah Fielding), and not behaving very well with her family, including with her father in law. The two girls manage to break into Cassandra's beach house, and after unintentionally inviting Kerrys's brother they are locked in the discovered panic room, while he and many people have a party above. After getting the code to get out, Kerrys and Jas get all the people out the house and lock the brother in the panic room, and then they get away with Kerrys being picked up in a car. Finally we see Jo forced into doing the shifts for her half-sister Gwen (Linzey Cocker) at the supermarket she works, while she goes with her new seemingly serious boyfriend, and she is working alongside Angelo (Jacob Anderson), and meets new manager Tee (Clarke). He is working alongside Dillon (Adam Deacon) and Smoothy (Ashley 'Bashy' Thomas) to deliver the stolen diamonds, one being missing, and what happens is a robbery, but Tee managed to hide the bag in a tin of Pringles. These Pringles are of course inside the tin that Shannon takes, and when Tee is about to be shot by Kelly a car crashes into the shop with Cass driving and Kerrys inside, and obviously Jo joins them. The final scene sees Shannon looking like she would be jumping off a bridge as suicide, holding the diamonds, but the three friends come and save her, and the four of them decide to return the diamonds for reward, and they fly to New York, not knowing Kelly is also on the plane. Also starring Helen McCrory as Mrs. Jones, Gregg Chillin as Manuel, Ben Miller as Mr. Phillips, Kevin Smith as Big Larry and Camille Coduri as Mrs. Phillips. The cast and performances are all very good, but for me the editing is what made it for me, following the same premise as Jackie Brown, 11:14 and Vantage Point, the point of view story lines is fantastic, so I think is a most viewable crime thriller. Worth watching!

While Jo is chained down in a dead end supermarket job, her friends are all out on their own separate adventures.Cassandra is jetting off to New York to meet her Internet boyfriend; Kerrys is on a one woman crusade fighting for female liberation and Shannon is on a one way trip to meet her maker.But a chance encounter with some diamond thieves sends their separate worlds on a collision course with not only each other, but fate itself.Even though this film has possibly the worst opening twenty minutes of any film (it was so bad and confusing, i nearly turned the thing off), if you stick with it, you will be treated to a film, that isn't as clever as the Magnolia/Run Lola Run hybrid movie it thinks it is, but a film that is pretty to look at and gets a lot better once you realise what Clarke is doing with this film.I can understand why so many people hate this film, it's too laid back to be a thriller, and it's too threatening to be a comedy, so it suffers from the schizophrenic movie syndrome so many other overlooked films have, it's hard to put this film into a genre.But there is a lot of fun to be had here. There are some good cameos from Smith and Miller, the cast are attractive on the verge of annoying and once all the loose ends are tied up, you are quite pleased at the very gooey, predictable ending.It's not for all tastes, but for some reason I think Clarke has made a good movie, and continues to be one of Britains better film makers.
