Disturbing yet enthralling
... View Moren my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
... View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

... View MoreThis movie is about Old School and New school. Old Guys bashing up younger ones. The movie follows the life of Richie who returns to his neighborhood to avenge his brothers murder. The movie has some nice Back ground music. Richie is played well by Ian Ogilvy. Danny-Boy has done a great job as the protagonist. Even though i found it a bit difficult to understand his language it sounded intense. There is a small twist in the movie but I guess most of you can catch it.The screenplay is done out well and sure will not bore you. If you are ready for some fancy stuff (they portray Richie almost equal to Corleone), then you are in for this movie. . I am ready for the second part.
... View MoreIMDb doesn't offer a zero star option. One star is exponentially more than this movie deserves. I recently saws film with an identical plot starring Michael Caine. That one was so so. The writing, directing and acting are amateurish and wooden from start to finish. This would be awful if it was a thousand times better than it is. Dreck, rubbish, crap. What can one say about this embarrassment? If you have a houseplant, watch it grow for 90 minutes and you will have seen something infinitely more entertaining than "we still kill the old way" IMDb wants 10 lines of review and there is not enough content in the film to warrant 10 lines of text.
... View MoreReview: This is yet another movie about old gangsters vs. new gangsters in the East End. The young gangsters are going around causing unnecessary trouble and when one of the old school gangsters confronts them in a dark alleyway, whilst trying to save a young girl from getting raped, he gets murdered in a brutal way so the old crew get together to revenge his death. The old crew seemed like they wouldn't hurt a fly and they weren't that convincing as brutal killers. The new school crew were more annoying than scary and they just went around being a nuisance, thinking that they were bad. When the two sides clash, they end up in a big shoot out in a hospital, which was quite ridiculous, and then the film ends abruptly. It seemed more of a comedy than a meaningful gangster movie and there is just way too much talking and not enough violence from the old boys. Anyway, it's worth a watch just to past the time but it's not that great. Average!Round-Up: It's a bit weird watching a guy from Eastenders act like a gangster. I couldn't really take him seriously because I couldn't get his part in Eastenders, out of my mind. He was really trying his hardest to chat like a badman and his mannerisms and constant yelling at his fellow crew members became annoying after a while. The old gangsters could have been much harder and more brutal but the director gave them witty lines which didn't really work in this film. Anyway, if your hoping for a Essex Boys type of movie then this isn't the movie for you but if you want to see two generations of gangsters clashing, then you should give it a go. I recommend this movie to people who are into their crime/action movies about an old gangster who is out for revenge, with his old crew, after his brother gets killed by a teenage gang. 3/10
