Reviews
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
johnsonchris-24597 This has to be one of the worst films ever made on British gangsters.Anyone who gives this a high score must be a friend or family.Those of you who gave it a 10 please go out and get a life.Do not watch this film.0/10
FlashCallahan Twenty years after The Range Rover murders, new faces are at the forefront of gangland Britain, but still with the killers never having been caught. But there are also those who haven't forgot what happened, and won't rest until justice is served.....Having seen a lot of the directors previous films, I had an inclination of what to expect. Billy Murray is a given, he's in every gangster movie these days, and I sort of enjoyed White Collar Hooligan for all the wrong reasons, so hey ho, why not.It's only an hour and twenty minutes long, and thats the best thing I have to say about it.It's awful in every sense of the word, and at times I was so close to turning it off, because it's offensive to the eyes, ears, and almost devoid of anything.Women are treated like animals, and there is nudity for nudity's sake, to the point of feeling sorry for the actress on the receiving end.The main 'lads' are unlikeable on the verge of wanting to put your foot through the TV, and you do ask yourself 'why am I not in movies if that guy is?' Vas Blackwood, and Lorraine Stanley are in it for about five minutes and look completely unaware of their location, and do nothing.Really don't bother with this film, getting your hand trapped in a car door would be more entertaining.
rich-fletch Having just watched Rise of the Footsoldier, I thought I'd watch this.Starring thingy, Kyle and Kye somebody, and another guy.I don't believe that in the real underworld/club land, there would be anyone afraid of these 4 clowns. Like Ever! This film is so tenuously linked to the range rover films it doesn't compare. It's like comparing a Ferrari with a piece of cheese.I blame the casting department who hired the worst choice actors for this sort of story. It is like hiring Barry from Eastenders to play Vito Corleone. No offence B.And another thing... Previous reviews have stated 7/8 even 10 stars for this film. I wonder what they gave Goodfellas, shawshank, green mile etc.... 20 out of 10!?
leonblackwood Review: This is your typical East End wannabe gangster movie about 4 drug dealers that mess with the wrong people. It's connected to the famous Range Rover killings, which they have made quite a few English movies about, but it starts off well and then it goes downhill. The acting Is just like all the other English gangster movies that you have seen, and the storyline is full of drugs, sex and violence which we have grown to expect from movies in this genre. I stuck with the movie to find out what was going to happen with the 3 brothers and the drug maker, and there are a couple of twists that make it interesting, but it's nothing amazing. It seemed quite low budget and I couldn't help thinking that the boys should have left the country from the time that they knew that someone was after them or when the cops started to put pressure on them. They didn't even try to hide, which was a bit strange, and they just stayed in there flat when they new that people wanted to murder them. Anyway, it's watchable but not one that you will rewind. Round-Up: I usually get ticked off when I see the usual faces in these English gangster movies, but this movie really needed some of the old tough nuts that we have seen many times before. Billy Murray is stuck in jail throughout the movie so you hardly see him at all. The 4 main characters just seem like a bunch of kids trying to play a big mans game, and they just get too big for there boots. To be honest, I don't know why they didn't get murdered earlier on in the movie because there not really underworld material.Budget: $1million Worldwide Gross: N/AI recommend this movie to people who are into there English gangster movies which are full of sex, drugs & violence. 3/10
