Let's be realistic.

Good concept, poorly executed.

Fantastic!

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

While I enjoy a good "shoot-em-up" movie just as much as the next person, this movie made me regret watching it. The writer is lazy with the story. Sirrus gets in way over his head but seems to handle everything he encounters. So much so that despite all the shooting and even grenades, he comes out of his experience with barely a scratch. In fact, everyone in his little group ends up with no injuries. Nothing. Seriously, not even a scratch despite all the violence. The writer seems to think that it is a good idea to have the worlds most incompetent gangsters and cops as the "bad guys". But if they are as stupid as the movie portrays how did they make it as far as they did? Makes no sense. It was frustrating to watch Sirrus and his group make it through each encounter with very little happen to them all the while defeating everyone they come across. Just lazy storytelling. Also, the acting is sub-par with the exception of Enoch Frost and Marlon Day. They at least have some acting ability. Do yourself a favor, avoid this lousy movie.

Normally I wouldn't stoop to reviewing or even watching one of the endless glut of embarrassingly poor mockney gangster romps that have tainted the British film industry ever since Guy Ritchie decided to give birth to said genre, but in this case, given the believable authenticity and blindingly scripted nature of said venture; I'll make an exception. Smack is the drug of choice in this tale, and likable user Cyrus plays the doped up protagonist finding himself on the receiving end of a particularly vicious and shamelessly corrupt detective looking to manipulate him into delivering a mammoth stash of brown. Fortunately Cyrus has sterling backup in the form of a pair of welsh gangsters who provide a wealth of snappy dialogue and brutish ballistics. Adding to the comedic energy are an equally deranged mob of Russians who the detective calls in to balance the odds. Every other character has their own podium of eccentricity on which to shine, and grimily they do. Naturally, there is foul language aplenty, but deployed in all the right places for a change, and the frequent incidents of gunplay are air- punchingly superb.

The East London borough of Hackney is rife with greed, corruption, bad acting, and the fight for survival. Sirus likes to make a little extra cash on the side, but not legally. Very occasionally, he passes a small 'package' from his London supplier, Asif, to small-time Welsh-Jamaican gangsters. The latest deal is is to happen in Sirus's home, much to the annoyance of girlfriend, Amanda. But things are about to go wrong. When the Welsh boys arrives, they are horrified to discover that Asif has been interrogated by the police, and coerced into going through with the deal, under watch by two lawmen straight from the seventies........It's Brit gangster straight to DVD movie number 257 for 2015, and this time, the horrid sub genre has reached a new low.As usual, it's amateur hour for all concerned, as we get the stereotypes that have existed more and more since the advent of Ritchie and Nick Love. Obviously the main character, Sirus, narrates the whole ordeal, and then we have the bent coppers, ridiculously over the top, the mates from the valleys, who had the potential to be something quite interesting, but never evolve to anything more than gun pointing onlookers.And before you know it, the film turns into one big, boring warehouse siege, with one policeman outside talking like he's a bit tasty to our 'heroes' in the warehouse, who in turn, have his partner as hostage.And just as things couldn't get any more incoherent for you, we are treated to some non- specific European thugs who are on the payroll, and guess what? The group have no way out.It's honestly as boring as it sounds, and I'm becoming more and more intolerant of these sort of movies, the more I watch them, but, every now and again, we get a little gem, like We Still Kill The Old Way, so it's just about worth trudging through abhorrent, Insufferable messes like this, but the gems are increasingly becoming few and far between.It's badly acted,badly written, and it just looks poor, and it feels longer than Lawrence Of Arabia, despite it being less than Ninety minutes.Do yourself a favour, ignore positive reviews of this film,they are obviously plants, and do something more worthwhile, like ironing your socks.Like another bad Gangster film I reviewed earlier this year, I wonder how long it'll be before the director adds me as a friend on Facebook?Ignore this even exists....

Very much enjoyed the movie. It kept me thinking and made me laugh. The characters all worked well and the movie delivered what it said it would on the cover. Hats off to the film makers and cast cos they have made something very enjoyable and credible. More power to them all. It's great when a film allows you to get lost in another world and wonder what's going to happen next while making you laugh at different times too. I look forward to seeing future work from people who made the film as I found their work authentic and well crafted. They certainly have a lot of potential to go to greater heights and I look forward to seeing that arc in their careers.
