Good start, but then it gets ruined

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

If you want to know how London's 1999 club scene would have looked to a square, middle-class director who presumably loves every style of music except for techno then by all means, go ahead and watch this film!The mixes in the club scenes sound like they were put together by a dodgy vinyl-touch program (I think even Judge Jules would have turned his nose up at them). The club crowds are portrayed as hopelessly thrilled, ironically overdressed, chronically overjoyed, continuously boogeying and mind-blowingly high. They are so over the top that, in the end, they are just boring. I've gone to tons of clubs, raves and underground parties in London and if I would have ever walked into a party like the ones shown in this film, I probably would have assumed that someone was shooting a bad movie there and left. I probably would have been right, too, and that bad movie probably would have been Sorted.I am fully aware that Sorted shows London's techno scene the way that it might look to outsiders but that does nothing to improve my opinion of it. I cringe to think that this is how the finest days of London's club scene are being portrayed in foreign countries (I picked up my copy of Sorted in Germany). No wonder Europeans don't go clubbing in London anymore! As of now, I am still waiting for someone make a good film about London's club and party scene. And as for Sorted, it's going in the bin. Pah.

The club scenes in this film are extremely believable, Tim Curry is in his most venal mode, and there are enough drugs and violence here for two movies, maybe even three. What more do you require from an evening's entertainment? Pump up the volume.

A rather disappointing film. The club scenes were ok, but over done. The plot was thin and boring. It's only redeeming features were some of the characters. The Chemist and The DJ were pretty fun characters. Tim Curry's character was just bizarre and stupid.

Rather lazily one newspaper review compared Sorted unfavourably with Billy Elliot. Although Sorted has its faults it is just as good as Billy Elliot and didn't annoy me nearly as much.The most obvious difference between the films for me is that while Billy Elliot is amateurish, Sorted is written and directed by professionals whose idea of educating themselves about film involves more than simply watching Kes.However as I said it has its faults. The film has an whodunit element whose reveal is a surprise but I don't think it was foreshadowed enough in the character development, if I'm being generous (or downright misleading if I'm not). The first two acts are nicely paced and very interesting but I have problems with the last act. It is a traditional Hollywood last act with lots of things happening and everything tied up neatly in a big finish. Unfortunately I hate traditional Hollywood last acts because they're so predictable through all the twists and turns.The plotting is strong and well done however it does fall down in some aspects. The MacGuffin is introduced too late for something of such importance and at one point, when it is found, the finder still keeps looking for it just so they can be discovered. The hero can find out what's on the MacGuffin by using the computer in his own apartment but for story progression's sake he takes it to somebody else's apartment. When we see what's actually on the MacGuffin it's something that can be printed off or the details passed on verbally in a single sentence. From experience I know that finding a good believable MacGuffin is difficult but you've just got to do the work.Characterisation is good, generally, although the scene at Justin's memorial where everyone was introduced was too obvious. Acting is good, generally, although Tim Curry seems as if he walked in from a completely different picture. Jovy should learn the following line for future reference, "less darling, give me less." I guess he was so chuffed to have a big star in the movie he didn't feel he could say that. Although to be fair to Curry, if you write a character as a Shakespeare quoting old-fashioned villain there are limited choices on how to play it. Matthew Rhys proves he's not a poor man's Jude Law (the director's original choice for the part) but a star in his own right.The club scenes are convincing and work well and the music is brilliant throughout - I was dancing in the aisles. There is also a good use of locations.Alex Jovy was featured in the Channel 4 documentary series Movie Virgins as he tried to raise finance for his film. It wasn't until the last episode of rooting for him to succeed that I thought, "hold on, I bet the script's c**p and he can't direct." Actually Villier's script is mostly good and Jovy's direction is very good.I hope this film makes its money back and it certainly deserves to.
