A lonely factory worker becomes a nightclub doorman.

Critics Consensus

Below-average British geezer-crime flick with poor performances, direction and writing throughout.

Anna Smith

Empire Magazine

Overcomes its low budget suspenseful story, sympathetic leads and cracking '80s soundtrack.

Rated: 3/5

Time Out

It's a comically inept and unfocused piece of filmmaking, with 'This Is England'-lite period detail attained by what looks like a bring-your-own-costume policy.

Rated: 1/6

Times (UK)

It's a dreadful piece of writing, compounded by an array of shockingly poor performances.

It's surprisingly good: well written, nicely acted and beautifully scored.

Tim Evans

Sky Cinema

Director Neil Thompson's literally hardhitting tale of a turning worm who transforms himself from meek factory drone to strutting nightclub doorman doesn't cast a light on anything.

Total Film

Though predictable, the attention to period detail makes this a Brit-flick rather like its hero - an intelligent little scrapper.

Very much a British film about life in the 80's in a medium sized city in the Midlands. I mean I grew in up Coventry and it felt familiar. Loved the characters and as everyone says I don't know what film the watched. Give it 15 minutes and then decide.

I'm not sure what the critics were watching, but this is a worthwhile movie. Some great characters and a nice redemptive story.

Hugely under rated and underappreciated film that is not trying to be glamourous or even technical but perhaps that's the exactly what some critics can't see beyond. This film is about real people, in a real situation and draws on real emotions that can commonly be felt by anyone. That what gives this film its attachment to an audience not blind to ignore this. Desperation, hate, greed, self-hatred, courage, desire, all intertwine in this films context and is delivered in a shocking and violent way. The film is entertaining and emotionally charged so should not be ignored. Perhaps more for the British audience however.
