Nigel Floyd Time Out If writer Paul Tanter's voiceover and dialogue had been delivered with any conviction, it might have distracted us from the dull visuals, over-complicated flash-back/flash-forward structure and TV soap opera-style acting. Rated: 1/5 Sep 25, 2009 Full Review Edward Porter Times (UK) A dull, poorly acted affair that doesn't deserve the brief release it's getting. Rated: 1/5 Sep 25, 2009 Full Review Andrew Pulver Guardian There's not much to be said for this overcooked, overheated Brit gangster thriller... Barrelling uncertainly between mockney-hoodlum cliches and wannabe noir stylings, it's only enlivened by a brief cameo from Danny Dyer. Rated: 1/5 Sep 25, 2009 Full Review Richard Luck Film4 Jack Said is another okay film enlivened by a typically spirited Dyer performance. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 25, 2009 Full Review Matthew Turner ViewLondon Dreadful British thriller with a tedious script, irritating characters, amateurish performances and a surprising lack of anything resembling action or thrills. Rated: 1/5 Sep 25, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member a decent british gangster movie, terry stone is as great as ever Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Guy Ritchie meets Tarantino, but... mediocre acting and subpar script. B-movie gangster flick. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Good film, what you see is what you get! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member From a Danny Dyer fan. Ok there are good films and there are bad films. Havent seen acting like this since the likes of Gregory's Girl. Would have taken the main character more seriously if played by Rufus Hound at least if you paid him to act you would get a performance worthy of this film (Ok it would be cack but liven the film up with comedy). Seriously this made Guy Ritchie's Revolver make sense. Ok I made it to around 01:13 when Jack was looking for Nathan with the picture and a voice-over. I can imagine what was said if the voice-over wasnt there. You seen this guy. Who him? Nah mate he looks like that Danny Dyer bloke but he has a finger for a face. Seriously as for the semi-famous Scottish Police BOSS the stroke speach may work when playing a gangster but for playing a cop the waivering drones had me wanting to finish his sentence. You know its a good film when cops lose all rankings and are called Boss, Chief, Super-Boss whatever. Anyway the film was so bad you started to guess the line before they were said, then you move up a notch to mute and start making the lines up. Seriously I have a great idea for a Danny Dyer comedy sketch, (Any TV programmes give me a call). The only thing that saved it for about 5 mins was the cleavage of one ravver annoying burd. Nice Sin City rip off cover. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Well, I can see why all the trailers preceding the film (and there were MANY) concerned gangs and football hooligans. Though in parts dull, the film did have it's moments. The acting, whilst wooden in places was significantly better than expected, though the film did have an overall "student" feel to it. This did however suit the subject matter quite nicely, and perhaps inadvertently made it feel more raw than it had any right to. Unfortunately, the big let-down was the over-reliance on stylistic features. Grainy, high-contrast, black and white sections tended to detract from the graphic feel of the film rather than add to it, and the plot, quite simply tried too hard to be complex and non-linear. Today's forecast: feelings of confusion followed by indifference. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I was going to rate this pretty high until the fur coat jumped from the floor to the hand rail. about as much use as a ashtray on a motorbike http://stagevu.com/video/ugfzniahdutu Crime | Drama: Jack is leading a double life. As an undercover cop infiltrating a notorious gang of criminals, he?s walking through the shadows of no man?s land. His task is to bring down The Guv?nor, but there are a few things he didn?t see coming.
