This film is shameful, exploitative and rambling.
It was incredibly non-representative of the communities it reported to portray. This depiction of these communities was deeply biased and negative. There was a disturbing emphasis on the 'darkness' of the area as opposed to giving the audience a contrast of light and dark (which is more representative).
The film lacked structure and was simply confusing and misleading as a result. It was geographically inaccurate. The North Circular Road is a straight road and yet many detours were taken in the film. Ironically, most of the film wasn't actually based on the North Circular Road.
The one star I gave it was for the music, which was the film's only saving grace.
