Incomprehensible

This is a film about a turf war in East London between the black gang run by Bev from her hairdressers salon, and the Turks, who are looking to take over. One of Bev's gang is working for the Turks without her knowledge. He is sent, with others, to Jamaica to carry out a hit on someone. When they return to the UK, things come to a head.

I'm not a young urban black man, I'm on old rural white bloke. Despite the script being in English, I could only understand one work in three, the urban patois being so unfamiliar and the accents so impenetrable. When they got to Jamaica, that went up to one in five, or worse. The film needed subtitles.

I hope it's not racist to say that I simply didn't understand the dialogue enough to follow what was happening - there was a period when some of them were in prison, then they weren't, for instance, and I didn't know why.

I hadn't heard of this film or its predecessor (which I hadn't seen). I think it might be quite good, but I'm really not sure.
