TRASHY GARBAGE, for POLLUTED MINDS


It's not often a movie is a complete dead loss,---due to the lack of risks taken in today's high-expense film production------ but this effort is a bona-fide STINKER: set in 2015 London, admidst gang warfare and severe food shortages. The too-large cast of too-similar characters just adds confusion to the stilted, off-putting screenplay, which is blighted further by 'post-modern' Techno music which will date the film severely before too long.

The only saving grace is the eerily decadent scenes of inner-city wasteland [which all seem authentic, with little set dressing] but even this becomes increasingly depressing as the film unspools.

A real irritating mish-mash of half-baked cliches and yawnsome foul language, this movie is surely doomed to eternal obscurity: it is an unmitigating disaster.

Yet more faux-socialist garbage that's supposed to make us pity the 'plight' of these 'dispossessed' teenagers, and blame ourselves for 'creating' them, when in reality they are just scumbag pieces of **** who should all be put down.

"when in reality they are just scumbag pieces of **** who should all be put down."

You're a moron if you genuinely believe that. It's no coincidence that the only kids who act like this come from deprived backgrounds. Our environment, and experiences in life shape the people we will become. You can't reap the rewards of an imbalanced distribution of prosperity and then wash your hands of the inevitable consequences. Does that mean these type of people aren't responsible for their actions? Of course not, but it does mean that you might have ended up as a similar type of person if you'd been dealt the hand that they had.

Having said that, the movies was indeed garbage.
