Christopher B I found it funny as fk. It does actually depict the weekends of lads who want to have a fight at the football. Obviously it’s a bit over the top but still shows really where drugs take you in the end. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/16/25 Full Review John C Believe it or not, I'm actually quite a fan of Danny Dyer. I don't expect he'll ever win any Oscars, but he's watchable enough to be amusing if given the right role/material. However, 'Marching Powder' tries hard to blend gritty realism with cheeky British humor, but the result feels a bit confused. The film seems to believe it can channel the spirit of 'Trainspotting' — complete with drug-fueled escapades, introspective monologues and moments of grim social commentary. Unfortunately, it lacks both the talent and the depth to pull it off. Dyer, while a decent enough actor in the right role, struggles here with the dramatic readings of his lines. His trademark cockney banter and rough-edged charm aren't up to the film’s attempts at serious character development. It’s as if someone thought, “What if we made a cockney version of Trainspotting?” — only to forget that those introspective, tortured inner monologues don’t quite land without an actor of Ewan McGregor’s emotional range and sheer antihero qualities. The film isn’t without merit: a few scenes carry that familiar Dyer energy and the direction captures the grime and chaos of London’s underbelly and social tensions. But the tone is all over the place — one moment it’s a dark comedy, the next it’s a gritty morality play and neither fully sticks the landing. In the end, 'Marching Powder' feels like a a decent attempt for Dyer to try to be more than his previous roles, but, although it wants to be profound, it ends up as a muddled showcase of him doing only bits of what he does best. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/05/25 Full Review Zebedee Z Definitely the worst film I've seen in ages. What's really troubling is that people got paid for this. I'm sure there are grown men who behave like this. Grown men with children's mindsets..but is it really funny? Or is it pathetic. When every other word is the c word, the storyline is just basic and it glorifies cocaine addiction and fighting without there being any real message in the narrative to make you think otherwise. Pathetic film. Really pathetic. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/30/25 Full Review Mr Bettershed E It’s so bad as a film it’s almost good , worth a watch if you’re a Danny fan , the cast are great it’s like the film Snatch but bought off Temu . Don’t take it seriously just enjoy it for What it is , defiantly a watch at home film Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/28/25 Full Review paul l Tough one. Bit of a cross between last of the Footsoldier movies crossed with trainspotting. Dyer plays his role with conviction but there’s just something lacking in this film. Can’t put my finger on it. That said, worth a watch. 😁😁 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/27/25 Full Review Danny G It's very cringey to watch grown men running about acting like idiots. Not worth watching.
