If dogshite was served on film, this would be it. A budget of about 25 quid, with a terrible story line, awfully directed, poorly casted an with acting that would make an onion cry. Good lord, what morons fund this crap? Guy Richie wannabe's that can't even get lighting and camera angles right. Painful to watch.

Always great to see a really original voice emerge! Savvas is fresh, bold and uniquely funny. He is a filmaker to watch and this film was a FUN trip worth taking!

When a movie turns out so bad, that you slap a comedy tag in the description in the hopes no one will notice. What an absolute piece of garbage. I would love to ask Mr Guttenberg how he feels about the finished product. So many points along this snooze fest of a ride I should have jumped off.. but like a train wreck.. I had to see the end, which you could see coming from a mile away. Or 2.4km? Whatever. I am in pain. It seriously did neurological damage. Not sure how anyone could rate it higher than 1 star, unless you were all so high that it felt more like a comedy.

There are not enough Qs in quirky to describe this movie. At its core, it is a story about an up and coming gangster. But the gangster is joining a family that is as dysfunctional and oddly led as the young gangster is a naïve simpleton. While it is odd on many levels, it does not exhibit the creativeness to be funny. Since it has no functionality as a gangster movie, the fil falls short of being anything entertaining. The individual characters are portrayed well, but the audience is left with a sense of incompleteness when the film concludes.

If you are not a fan of dark humour, you won't like this and will probably be gut-offended. However, if a Tarantino-style story is already a pleasure-giving art form for you, and also if you think at times you might be slightly psycho, then sit back and enjoy. Good dark story line with a suitably deadpan delivery to avoid it going over the top. It will divide the room. But at least you'll know where to sit.

My recommendation is if you're looking for a new gangster movie, you won't lose with Original Gangster. It's a good one to hold on to until the next one comes along.

Rated: 7.5/10
