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....
