Julian K Ian Ogilvy was hoping this would be his Sexy Beast. It turned out to be his Damp Squib. The unfamous actors deliver performances more wooden than my coffee table. The premise that a bunch of clueless druggies would be any match for a half-organised team of veteran gangsters is ludicrous. The film lurches from scenes copied from Sexy Beast, Harry Brown, The Long Good Friday and Reservoir Dogs with clumsy predictability. This poor excuse of a film could have been raised to only moderately bad with more skilfull editing and a decent soundtrack. The direction is also pedestrian. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/15/25 Full Review Tim O The idea is sound. That's what earns it half a star. Now for the not so great: The script is just dreadful. Renowned veteran actors try to make the best of the awful stunted cliched dialogue. The pacing is way off, the action sequences are ridiculous, and the final climactic shootout is so far fetched it drags the whole movie kicking and screaming from "so bad it's good" to "just bad". I won't bother with the sequel. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/25 Full Review Audience Member It’s not Goodfellas, not the Equalizer, but if you’re looking for a solid, raw Mob revenge flick, you could certainly do worse. Admittedly, the gang member characters are extremely unlikable..but that only adds to the satisfaction level of the impressive (and I suspect off-putting to more squeamish reviewers) old-school gangland justice that befalls them. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/15/24 Full Review Tony H After watching a similar gangster flick recently (Freight) which I found quite poor, I had my reservations about this one. However, it was actually okay and not too far-fetched. A decent set of actors whose faces will be familiar even if their names are not. I've seen a lot worse than this so it's 4 stars from me. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/29/24 Full Review Fallen S Below average gangster revenge movie. Acting was mediocre, special effects were pretty terrible. It passed the time, but thankfully it was only a short film. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/17/23 Full Review Joe C Sure, it's a simplistic revenge flick. The bad guys are nasty little punks with no redeeming qualities. But you can't help rooting for the old school geezers who get the job done with a good measure of charm, especially Ian Ogilvy, with whom I was not previously familiar. Must seek out his other projects, including the sequel. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
