David Jenkins Time Out It's a terrible film, so blithely wrong-headed in its execution that some scenes are quite entertaining in an 'is this really happening?' kind of way. Rated: 1/6 Apr 25, 2009 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian There really is no film as terrible as a terrible Britfilm, and here is a depressing example that I can only compare to Madonna's legendarily abysmal Filth and Wisdom. Rated: 1/5 Apr 25, 2009 Full Review Dominic Wells Times (UK) City Rats is an old Trabant: depressing, prone to stall, its parts not properly welded together. Rated: 2/5 Apr 25, 2009 Full Review Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) Although Kelly displays imagination as well as technical skill, his film can't be taken seriously. Rated: 2/5 Apr 28, 2009 Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) The factitious tale of eight Londoners from the lower reaches of the East End who pair off to go about their tedious, unconvincing ways with Canary Wharf usually in the background. Apr 28, 2009 Full Review Jon Fortgang Film4 A low budget drama by a writer and director both making their feature debut, it's an uneven but ambitious enterprise which, like its characters, never knows which way to turn, or how best to exploit its own strengths. Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 25, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

sonny p A vile and pointless viewing that sets Dyer's career back decade… so makes decidedly little difference. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Christ that was hard to get through. The final half hour there's almost no dialogue, just whimsical looks played to a piano soundtrack. Arguably it's the highlight of a terrible film. One of the worst British films I've ever seen. Pointless, dreary, dumb. Painful. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member City rats 27.2.21 7.3/0. Not what I expected. Liked it but got a bit confused with characters looking the same. D.B. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Having bought this on DVD in hopes of a sort of action drama, it wasn't at all near that. The acting was alright, nothing to critic there. The overall movie was just depressing though and not my cup of tea. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Worst film I have ever seen Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member This I thought was a very poor film. The stories didnt link well. It had a good cast Tamer, Danny and ray but that didnt help. Seeing it had this lot in it I thought it would be good. If your going to get this because its got these people in it then its not worth it. Oh well all actors have to at least make one bad film in their career. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
