Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

... View MoreIt is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
... View MoreThe movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
... View MoreNoel Clarke writes and stars in Kidulthood. After the suicide of a young schoolgirl bullied at school and harassed by Sam (Clarke.) The students are given time off school the next day to mourn.We follow the youths as they criss cross each other throughout the day. There is casual bullying, drug taking, stealing and sex.Sam is riled when a group of lads break into his house and goes out looking for revenge. However one of the lad's has an uncle who is a vicious gangster, a plot strand that will develop later in the trilogy.Kidulthood is a low budget gritty look at inner city London but it is also a look at life of young people that is becoming cliched as red London buses and city types wearing bowler hats.Clarke's writing is raw but it does have an energy to it. However some of the characters look too old to be at school and too many of them are just nasty all the time, so you really do not care about them.
... View MoreKidulthood is a film that took me by a surprise considering it is a British film I didn't have much hope even though I am British I find that I just don't seem to enjoy British films as much as American it could be the way I man raised of it could just be that British films are bad I don't know but anyway Kidulthood really shocked me the film is very gripping and bring you a truthful insight on the life of London teenagers in more rough areas. The ending is also a tear jerker and really affective in getting the harsh realitys of that lifestyle across. All the cast plays there roles very well and believable and they all have important parts in the film. This film is very popular we're I live because it unfortunately almost relates to the area I live in. All though the film is abit depressing it's truthful and will keep you entertained to find out more & more.
... View MoreThis is another underrated film, the acting is excellent even if it doesn't star massive Hollywood actors/actresses, the film is depressing yet compelling, and the bleak setting and nature of the film seems scarily real.It takes place in London, and spans over a long day, in the lives of three adolescent boys, and drama and troubles they get into, and delivers one shock of an ending.The violence is brutal but real, the script is profane, but again realistic and the underage sex, drugs and violence shows us a world we live with, and could happen any day of the week
... View MoreSome kids live on a London estate. They fight, drink, take drugs, have casual sex. But don't worry, it is all as realistic as an episode of Shaun the Sheep. Except the acting in Shaun is better, and the storyline more socially relevant.Feeble scripting, one-dimensional characters who are so under-developed they're embryonic (especially the 'easy' girlfriend), pantomime set-ups (locking the bad guy on the balcony), and attempts at dramatic tension that make an average episode of Dani's House look like Othello. Directed by postcard, edited with a lawnmower.You can't praise the acting then qualify it by saying "as they were kids." There are hundreds of films where kids have put in mature, nuanced, moving performances. Hell, I've seen more convincing acting in the primary assemblies up the road. And you can't qualify the script and direction by saying "newcomers." Being young and inexperienced does not make you deserving.Some questions may be clichés, but that does not make them invalid. So I ask - how on earth did this get made?
