Neil S This is a typical Danny Dyer film, usual drug fuelled football violence film that is straight forward enough to follow, however on this occasion for some reason the director thought "let's make sure everyone knows what's going on" so we have the opening cartoony bit where we have it explained why Dyers character is what he is, this is then continue with Dyer endlessly doing a 4th wall voice over bit to explain who everyone is and why they are involved in this "scene". Not necessary given how basic and well trodden this story-line is. Suppose this was put in to replace any requirement to develop characters via the actual acting (not that you'd need much with a story as simply as this). Think the most damning indictment I can give this film is that Dyer is probably the best actor in it (by actor I mean he's playing his usual role, himself turned up to 11), the woman playing his wife was alright but he character was so unrealistic it was hard to take her seriously, the lad playing Dyers father in law played himself (as he always does), the wife's step brother was reasonable in a simplistic way I suppose, the rest arn't worth a mention, you could have gone into any pub in Essex and grab random people who could have played those parts with a couple of Peroni's down them. A special mention ref poor acting has to go to the lad playing Dyers son, i know he's young and I know you can't too much but he was particularly nauseating and poor even by child actor standards. Couple this with a well worn and almost caricatured story-line, poor dialogue which they seemed to try to paper over by using the word "cu*t" excessively as if that might distract you from noticing how cliched the whole narrative was what you have is something that makes you wonder how on earth anyone has signed this off to be made. My advice is don't lost circa 100 mins of your life watching this crap, it isn't worth it and trust me your missing nothing.

Pile of crap and Nick has lost his touch Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/24/25 Full Review Joseph Peter H If Football Factory , Green Street & Love Actually Had A Cocaine Fueled Threesome Now if you like a bit of dicky , causal violence and think you're to proper geezer ( Like myself ) , then this is prime movie territory for you. This is Danny Dyer , at peak Danny Dyer. Charged up on packet , packing punches at every corner. There's some sort of moral story to this film but honestly? Who's watching a film like this for that soppy sh**t. Don't go by the Gen-z , imperial film critic reviews that drink skinny non dairy Frappuccino latte's wearing a cravat. This film is for the typical good-ol English man , that frequent the local boozer , sniffing lines of packet off a p**s splashed toilet seat. 10/10 Good Job Ol' Boy. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/12/25 Full Review Jax L I'm guessing the bad reviews are from people who have no idea about this scene or these communities. I thought it was really well done, showing the life of someone who never grew up out of that scene, became trapped in it. I liked that it showed that addiction rules, I know, there is no redemption. And actually, thought I'd never say this, Danny Dyer is a very good actor. Listen to his Desert Island Discs episode. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/31/25 Full Review Tich K What a genuinely awful film. Trailer made it look like it would be fun... It is not. It wanted to be some form of crossover between Lock Stock and Trainspotting, but has none of the charm of either. It tried to give a message about getting older and life changing, but it failed as it had zero depth. Most of all it had an awful script fully of cardboard characters. Avoid like the plague! Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/24/25 Full Review karen h Apart from a couple of chuckles here and there, I honestly have nothing positive to say about this movie. It starts off with a dialogue that has the C word in it several times, and obviously, being Danny Dyer, I expect swearing aplenty, but I found this aspect completely off putting. The fact that the storyline is so wishy washy doesn't really help this supposed romcom, and as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't even get off the ground. I would definitely give this one a huge swerve as you really can't get your time back, so don't waste it! Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review Read all reviews
