Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
... View MoreThis movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
... View MoreThe acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
... View MoreAlthough I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
... View MoreFreddy (Craig Fairbrass) is married into the mob. He is their main strong man. His wife (Lisa McAllister) is attempting to get pregnant. Her brother Eddie Christian (Dexter Fletcher) is the owner of a gentleman's club and runs a fight club which features his brother Dennis.The Romanian mafia who want the club are extra strong and have a hypnotic effect on people. The two groups enter into a drug deal and soon the Romanians get control of the nightclub. At this point, in the battle of the bad guys, I started rooting for the vampires over the Brits. One crazy man, Kenny Mason (Steven Berkoff), who was a squatter over the site of the club long ago knows the secret of the vampires.The high action packed vampire film suggested by the DVD cover doesn't materialize until late. This is more of an adult "Twilight" for British mobsters. The acting was good. I enjoyed the "realism" of the script, as a change from more traditional vampire movies. The movie had potential. The soundtrack they used during the credits would have been better during the film. The important scenes were too quick and not memorable. Makes for an okay rental, but nothing more.F-bomb, no sex, no nudity (scantily clad dancers).
... View MoreBritish thugs meet vampires, but not for at least 45 minutes. Then it's still slow. The vampires speak crappy Romanian and have Slav names and act like they are retarded, while the thugs are behaving like pussycats.It's a waste of good acting, if you ask me, with a lot of British actors that I've seen playing heavy roles in cool films now being forced to work on this lame rip off of From Dusk Till Dawn. There is no humour, no real fun, little action and a lot of talking that makes no sense nor brings any meaning to an otherwise bland script.So this is not as much as a failure as it's a boring failure. The little bit of actual horror, the helplessness feeling when the vampires arrive, is lost in a uninspired story.
... View MoreA bit like my old school reports, Dead Cert invokes comments such as "Must try harder" or "Can do better" and "Needs to pay more attention." A London gangster-vampire hybrid, which is a fine idea in itself, Dead Cert is a case of ambition running way ahead of ability in, well, just about every department! So badly do the two concepts fail to meld, or work even on their own individual basis, it makes me wonder what kind of script the film has. Did it even have one or were the cast allowed to busk their way through? There's certainly no sign of firm direction on show here.Budgetary constraints are obvious, but time and again talent can cover for this if the core elements are present and correct. But where there is no drama or tension, where the characters are so flat as to be thinner than cardboard, then why should the audience care?
... View MoreI don't know where to start or how to.....the only thing rolling over my head right now is , please please don't make me think about this movie again ....let me start with the sound quality ......frankly its kind of b grade movie (which only gets into the market on dvds)..or may be its British ascent..truth ,( I'm living in London rite now ) but really British ascent sounds really bad in movies..The vampires in this movie are ( what to say ) like unvampi ..( i made that word myself after watching lol) The whole movie is around the strip club corner and Jesus !! there isn't a single flashing of skin ...the girls are so dumb..and the whole plot of the movie is dumb(or weired), and the story isn't that compelling only the good part is the night ,dark,bluish color of the movie which turns your head towards the TV.....but as a whole ...better not waste your time in this one , i'd prefer if you don't know what to do with your time then get a good nap .....fellas ... SAVE YOUR TIME .
