      Audience Member Down to earth and honest Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member That's suburban Britain for ya. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Good watch. Not v exciting though Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This film looked good on the cover, but it really let me down. Too much chat and not much drama. Sorry but it has to be a 2 star. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Typical cockney wanna b chav rubbish Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Difficult to get a hold of on this side of the Atlantic, 'Shifty' sets what might otherwise be a typical rough-life-on-the-streets plotline against the suburban estates of post-industrial Britain. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Dan Jolin Empire Magazine Good central performances in this highly, entertaining character-driven debut. Rated: 4/5 Apr 24, 2009 Full Review Wally Hammond Time Out Creevy's fine ear for dialogue, sensitive and productive direction of actors and confident control of tone is all the more impressive for being delivered under the short schedule and tight budgetary exigencies. Rated: 4/6 Apr 24, 2009 Full Review Wendy Ide Times (UK) The production values are lo-fi but spirited performances, matey humour and an edgy authenticity carry the story. Rated: 3/5 Apr 24, 2009 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com While the idea of a crime thriller set in seedy London isn't an original thought, the way that Creevy approaches everything here is original, intelligent and involving. Rated: 3.0/4.0 Sep 23, 2020 Full Review Tony Macklin tonymacklin.net Shifty is low-key, low budget, but high grade. It's a film about sitting and talking. And drug dealing. It builds slowly - some may want more action, but it has a surprisingly satisfying conclusion. Rated: 3.0/5 Oct 18, 2012 Full Review Cosmo Landesman Sunday Times (UK) The dialogue is a nice mix of Pinteresque menace, drug lingo, laddism and cracking one-liners. Rated: 4/5 Apr 28, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews
