Very best movie i ever watch

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The acting in this movie is really good.

In my opinion, Kidulthood is one of the best Urban films that the UK has created and Adulthood is certainly a worthy sequel.Things have changed since the end of Kidulthood, it's six years on and Sam (Noel Clarke) has just been released from Prison. Sam has done a lot of growing up over the previous six years and Prison has made him a man. He sets out to apologise for his actions but things don't run as smoothly as he would have hoped.. Jay (played by Adam Deacon) hasn't grown up, he is still out on the streets and now sells drugs for a living. Once he hears of Sam's release, he only has one thing on his mind; Revenge.Noel Clarke proves yet again how talented he is as he takes on the role of Lead Actor & Director. His acting skills are impressive as he transforms the school bully Sam into a scared, vulnerable young man. He really breaks down the characters barriers and lets the viewer connect with him, you feel for him and his emotion throughout the film is very realistic. In Kidulthood he was the character everyone hated, now he has turned to the character everybody loves. That is very impressive and made possibly by Noel Clarkes acting skills and his role as Director. Adam Deacon gives another great performance here; yes he is annoying and over the top and in your face but that is his character! He is playing the boy who never grew up, who still lives a street life and if full of anger and hate. There is a scene towards the end of the movie which highlights both of their acting skills and really shows the viewer what they are capable of when given the chance. The other supporting actors are also decent; however some of the characters are irritating and are trying to play to part a little too hard. Plan B is extremely annoying in this movie, his face alone makes you want to put your foot through the TV screen!Adulthood is a direct follow on from Kidulthood, many of the same characters and many references to the previous movie so I would say it is essential to view Kidulthood first. Adulthood feels a lot more serious and mature than Kidulthood, it is much more emotional and has a much darker feel to it. The Grime soundtrack is also a massive hit with some classic tunes included.8/10

In 2006 a little film called Kidulthood was released in Britain with a lot of media controversy with it bleak look at inner city life for teenagers. I personally didn't rate the film but people really love it, helped the careers of Noel Clarke and Jamie Winstone. Two years later Noel Clarke has gone back to his creation in an unpredicted sequel.Sam (Noel Clarke) is released from prison after a 6 year sentence for murder of Trife at the end of Kidulthood. Straight away he visits Trife's grave and is attacked by a man, claiming that people want Sam dead. Sam is thrown straight into his mission to find and stop the people hunting him before they hurt him and his loved ones. He starts by appoarching people he went to school with, including Claire (Madeleine Fairley), his ex-girlfriend, one of Trife's old friends Moony (Femi Oyeniran), now a uni student, Lexi (Scarlett Alice Johnson), Becky's cousin and Alisa (Red Madrell), Trife's ex-girlfriend. One of Trife's friends, Jay (Adam Deacon) has become a drug dealing, and a low level gangster. He had a particular grudge against Sam. So does Trife's uncle who is a leading gangster in West London and the Jamaican community. Sam has to fight off a number of attempted hits in the space of a day on his first day out of prison.Adulthood can easily be put in the sections of unexpected sequel and unnecessary sequel. Adulthood is a better film then Kidulthood, but it doesn't mean it's a good film. Plus Kidulthood did at least have a good first 10 minutes. My problems with Kidulthood were that it had a very negative portrayal of British youth, and is very unrealistic. Adulthood has a similar problem, that it's very unrealistic that all that happens in the film happens in one day and there are moments that are so stereotypical with it's portrayal of a Middle class man and his girlfriend, and of students that it's unbelievable. I thought the middle class bloke was too stupid and a bit insulting. There are other moments that were also unrealistic, like when Claire attempted to shout, with people looking at her and Sam and did nothing.Adulthood does improve in other areas. The acting is better, even with cast members from the previous film. Sam also is a more realistic character, and even likable character, despite what he did. I thought he was the most pathetic 'hard man' in the previous film. Noel Clarke is a pretty good actor. Noel Clarke also moves into the director's chair, and he is an improvement to Menhaj Huda. Noel Clarke has a better visual style, with some good shots and editing tricks. He get better performers out of his actors, and avoids the mistakes Huda made with the pacing of the film. I however did not like some of the slow motion and still tricks that he used, and he did use a bit too much shaky cam for my liking. Clarke has potential as a director, but his weakness is his writing. He needs to make his characters, even minor characters, and his premise more realistic.** out of *****

Adulthood is the first English-language film I've ever had to watch with subtitles because I couldn't understand what the characters were saying. Almost without exception the young actors speak a strangulated version of the language through a Caribbean-affected drawl that makes every other word unintelligible. Americans – who I've seen in other film's reviews commenting on the difficulty of following, say, a cockney accent (which British people can easily understand) – won't have a hope of figuring out what they are talking about.Happily, that's pretty much the only complaint (although it's an observation rather than a complaint) as Noel Clarke has delivered a powerful sequel to his highly acclaimed Kidulthood. I hadn't seen that film when I saw this, but it isn't really necessary in order to understand what is going on. Clarke plays a young man on his first day out of prison who finds himself the target of the friend of the youth he killed six years before. His character, eyes opened by a spell in prison that has shown him how deluded he was before he went inside when he considered himself to be a big man, is played low-key, in contrast to those of all the other youths, including the small-time dealer, a friend of Clarke's victim, who puts a contract out on him.Clarke gets under the skin of these characters without forcing them to step outside of their tough shells to blurt out insightful speeches. The dealer's insecurity is evident in the exaggerated swagger, the habitual aggression that constantly threatens to boil over into violence or rage. Like an old man he is resistant to change and fearful of losing more friends – even if it's to an education and a woman who isn't fazed by his in-your-face attitude. Adam Deacon nails the part perfectly and easily gives the best performance in a film which is marked by the quality of the acting.Everyone else is looking for a way out of the gloomy inner-city jungle while ensuring, by the nature of their activities, that they will never leave. Clarke's wrapping up of the story offers no solutions or fake happy endings: 'This isn't over,' the defeated Jay cries, and his words refer as much to the character's entrapment in their dispiriting urban prison as it does to his feud with Clarke

Two years ago there was a hard hitting gritty British film released called Kidulthood. A drama about inner city kids and their way of life. Adulthood it the follow up set 6 years later and not only has multi talented lead actor , writer and director Noel Clarke managed to recapture the feel of the first movie , he has managed to better it. After Sam Peel is released from jail for killing Trife, he finds difficulty adjusting to life on the outside. He is forced to confront the people he hurt, trying to find out which one is seeking revenge on him. While Sam tries to cope with the effect his actions had on the people he knew, he finds himself being hunted by a group of young thugs, who seem to be following the same path as Sam had in the past – but why are they hunting him and who are they?Sam's first day of freedom will be one he never forgets and as important in his life as the one that lost him his freedom in the first place. Sam is about to go from Kidulthood to Adulthood, if he survives …If you read the British tabloids you would think that London was full of gun toting , knife wielding teenagers eager to kill anybody who gets in their way. Of coarse it's not true, London is no worse than any other big city but small truths like that don't sell newspapers.Noel Clarke has made a film that brings the life of these young adults to a wider audience. None of the characters are likable in fact they are a bloody annoying bunch . They are either using drugs , having sex or fighting and although they aren't the sort of people you would want to mix with you still somehow end up feeling concerned for their plight . Especially convicted Murderer Sam.You don't have to have seen Kidulthood to enjoy Adulthood if enjoy is the right word to use. It's a film to admire rather than enjoy because of it's dark nature.The cinematography is fantastic . There are shots of London that are breathtaking but i can't see the London tourist board asking to use them!There is one scene in particular where we seen three situations being played out on the same screen with each scenario moving in different directions. It's a very clever sequence and unlike anything i have seen before.It takes a while to get used to the street slang that is used and times and i could have done with some subtitles myself and I'm from London !God knows what the American audience will make of Adulthood but i was really impressed with it. Alongside "Sugarhouse" it's one of the best British movies i have seen this year.Noel Clarke should be proud of Adulthood.8 out of 10
