Weekender (2011)
4/10
Interesting yet non-fulfilling
12 October 2013
I watched this film as it was recommended by my brother of 28, it seemed fitting for someone who has experienced the rave days, but as for someone who has not it left me wanting more than it gave. The acting was good for the lead but the for the most part the rest of the crew lacked enough charisma.

Whiles watching the film I felt a bit like I was watching many different types of films in one because it didn't stick to the backbone very well as one minute I felt like I was watching British Teen Film the next I thought it was a gangster film... It didn't stick to a secure theme.

A lot of different scenes popped up with near or no relevance to the story even though it got the viewer interested. The most enjoyable part of the film was Jack O'Connell because I honestly believe he is a good actor and he plays his part very well.

Would I recommend this film? If it's 12 am and you've got nothing else to watch and you see it on the television and you're a fan of skins, I'd say go for it. If you want a good film on the Friday night to watch I would say watch another film.

Overall it was enjoyable and no where near one of the worst films I've seen. It had the potential to be a classic.
