A great night in.. for thick chavs


I was curious to note the critical acclaim this film received in the UK, particularly as it was directed by Dexter Fletcher of Press Gang and Lock Stock fame? I was hoping for a pleasant surprise but found it to be the usual lairy London hardman bollocks this country churns out.

Hardman looking for redemption, tart with a heart, the emotional 360 to caring dad - all the cliches are here and presented with all the lairy, threatening, cretinous, London Gangster-wannabe character types you would expect.

If you are a thick chav, full of Stella and just back from walking your Pit-bull, feel Guy Ritchie has gone too `arty' for you and fancy a change from your Danny Dyer DVD collection put on Wild Bill - you won't be disappointed.

Its a slice of life film but despite the cliches it was ok.

It has cliches because its a BLOODY WESTERN!!

Im really surprised nobody seems to recognize that's what the film is trying to parallel.

You are being way to harsh on the film. It's extremely solid.
