Rob (Charley Palmer Rothwell - Legend), loves driving and stealing cars, living his life at a hundred miles an hour in the cash-starved port town he calls home. He shares a house with his dying father (Tom Fisher - The Young Victoria) who thinks he's out job hunting. Rob manages to keep his two worlds perfectly separated until best mate Leo (Thomas Turgoose - This Is England), gets him involved in a bigger, riskier job which goes terribly wrong. With his relationship with his distant father in shreds and betrayed by his best mate, unexpected hope comes from Leo's girlfriend Kasia (Morgane Polanski - Vikings).

Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review An impressive first feature from someone worth watching. Nov 12, 2020 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) Pannevis also shoots nicely, filming Hartlepool in epic wide shots, and thoroughly removes the kitchen sink from kitchen-sink drama. Rated: 4/5 Nov 7, 2020 Full Review Danny Leigh Financial Times The movie is raw, elegiac and, for van Pannevis, filled with promise. Rated: 4/5 Nov 6, 2020 Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times The Hartlepool setting offers some atmospheric views, which Pannevis cannily contrasts with increasingly claustrophobic visuals as the gang run out of options. Rated: 3/5 Apr 21, 2021 Full Review Jesse Hassenger NME (New Musical Express) Splits the difference between catharsis and more open-ended lyricism. Rated: 3/5 Feb 5, 2021 Full Review Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) Good performances and general vigour improve this unsurprising piece of British social realism, the first feature by its director, Rene van Pannevis. Rated: 3/5 Nov 9, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Raw gritty drama well written and well acted the director has a future in films Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Rob is living in a seaside town, spending most of his time looking after his dying father. When he leaves, his father believes he is going to job interviews or picking up odd jobs here and there to bring in the money. Unbeknown to his father, his son has a talent for stealing cars with his best mate Leo, the only way he has found to make any money in a town with a dying docks trade. When Leo offers him a job that is far riskier than anything they have done before but for a lot more money, Rob has some tough choices to make because he knows should anything go wrong it won't just be his life that is changed forever. Looted is a decent British film that's not just about low level crime in a dying post-industrial coastal town but also about the broken relationship between father and son and the tragic circumstances that force them back together. It's a coming of age story, crime thriller and a character study of a young man facing a crisis of conscience. It's an entertaining film with an especially tense final act as the consequences of the lead characters' actions come to the surface. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
