I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
View MoreIt’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
View MoreThis is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
View MoreDarius Cruise and his newly assigned partner, Abby Barrett, work a law enforcement sub-section dealing with the current London's underworld, called the Organized Crime Division (OCD). Their day is about to get very bad indeed. Rebecca Ryan, an OCD operative, has been working covertly inside the underworld's South-Side Mob. She turns renegade after her 15 year-old daughter is been found brutally murdered, believing this to be a revenge attack after her cover is blown.Rebecca begins taking down the South-Side mob one by one working her way up the chain of evidence, exacting terrible vengeance on everyone who crosses her path. She needs to avenge her daughter's death and Rebecca will stop at nothing to achieve this. Now the pressure is on for Darius and Abby to find Rebecca, track her down and bring her home before all hell breaks loose.A tiny film with big budget problems but works really well, it is a shame that this movie didn't end up in the cinema it's a great film that cost next to nothing to make. The plot is a good cop thriller in the mould of the old 70's thrillers where the lines between good/bad, right/wrong are unclear. The focus of the film is Rebecca Ryan play by the magnificent Claire Goose killing people left right and center but the film is much more than that, it has themes of bullying (Abby Barrett played by Donna Air), love, Rebecca Ryan falls for Harry McCann (a mob guy) and scenes of violence and tension that shifts everything forward. It is easily one of the best independent UK straight to DVD movies released this year. It takes a genre that is seen so often in US flicks and makes it feel fresh and enjoyable.As director, writer and editor Diaz is brilliant. His script is well written and has plenty of funny dialogue but it is the feel and look of the film that is great. If you like this film it is worth looking at the DVD extras, Diaz talks about the reasons behind what he did and it is impressive to hear and understand his thought method, and to make this kind of movie with no money is really impressive.The cast are outstanding, although really the film hinges on the three leads. Goose is great as the avenging angel her performance has sympathy, emotion and layers to it. Anthony Ofoegbu (new comer) is also good as the seen it all cop, and Donna Air does a good job as the good looking rookie very much secondary to Ofoegbu. Support from Tom Bacon is minor but he plays his part very well as the man that can get you a gun, there are other solid support roles too, but it really is Goose's film.A cop thriller that is darker and most of the time very effective, with a cool plot and a good twists near the end the film this has an extraordinary style to it and, while Goose is commend, the success and feel of this film is down to Diaz as both writer and director. With his talented and underpaid cast and crew he has turned a cool script into a very entertaining movie.
View MoreI don't know who gives David Ian Diaz the money to make these things but this is another one of his 'lots of people get shot but there's no plot' movies. Thankfully its better than Fallen Angels but its still awful.Donna Air is unconvincing as a tough cookie, some of the supporting cast are wooden and it doesn't make much sense. this is definitely not worth buying, only worth renting if you're desperate. Thankfully I didn't pay to see it.There are lots of glowing reviews on here presumably by people connected to the movie and the negative reviews have been systematically deleted..don't be tricked into thinking this is good. You'll have a bad day if you spend time or money on this.
View MoreAlthough the film is perhaps a little slow at the start, the consequent results are brilliant. Claire Goose's performance is captivating and will only be fully appreciated once you've finished watching the movie. The supporting cast, including Anthony Ofoegbu, Donna Air, and George Calil provide the basis for this convincing crime thriller drama. One is required to discover the identity of the killer who had murdered Rebecca's (Claire Goose) daughter throughout the film, if it were not for the well thought-out script and professional dramatic acting, the climax in the church this would not have worked. You shall be left speechless and wondering how this film with very little money spent achieved its goal.
View MoreI wasn't going to buy this movie but after seeing some of the behind the scenes stuff on you tube I decided to buy. After watching this film I have to say I enjoyed it a lot. The film is quite slow at the beginning however it quickly gathers pace. The way the script introduces you to the characters is excellent and it's only when you see the scary Riana Husselmann who plays Marla pummelling the boyfriend of the Sarah Harding's character you think this film is going to be cool! Claire Goose is an excellent choice in the lead role; in fact she carries the physical action off very well, I read about the big fight between Claire and Donna Air and let me tell you it was well worth waiting for. I wasn't too sure on Sarah Harding, but she's minimal in the movie and when she does appear she's was very funny! (Didn't know she did funny) The action sequences are very well shot and direction is first rate. To this end, the overall movie has an excellent pace which kept me very well entertained. I'm not afraid to say I cried at the end scene, very moving, great direction and cinematography making this film a bit classier then you're average low budget UK thriller.Overall I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend you seeing this. 10 stars!
