Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

leahrockstar This the second of the "Jack" movies and was an improvement from the first "Jack Says" with more detailed skyline shots of London and better camera angles maybe the increased budget was helpful. The Acting from Simon Phillips just gets better and better and is a fast rising star who will one day be a household name, I just hope he doesn't get stuck in an Eastenders character as he has a lot to offer. OK, he's notably put on a little weight in this movie compared to the first "Jack" movie but fortunately it doesn't spoil his character so that doesn't matter. There are lots of twist's and turns but you find your way as it goes and I got hooked and can't wait to see the third "Jack Falls" as there is unfinished business that I and Jack need to know. It's a unfortunate Mike Reid and Rula Lenska weren't here or unable to be there as they were so good in the first movie but this movie does hold up on it's own without the big guns although Danny Dyer does a superb job working with Simon. This is a raw gritty London movie relatively very low budget class movie compared to Hollywood films but is the sort of film production that is a great change from the usual gloss. This movie has it's own style with it's dark "Noir" mixed with some dark colour, harsh language, blood and guns quite a violent series well worth a visit for some great escapism ….I loved it.

trifstar I loved this film and would have to say it's one of my favorite movies of this genre. Absolutely riveting film about Jack, an undercover cop who has to find his way into a family the police have been trying to get close to for some time. Jack has to make some life changing decisions about how to deal with a predicament he finds himself in as a result of getting too close to the crims he's supposed to bring down. Lots of plot twists. Well written, well acted and a credit to the genre.Time is spent giving the characters depth so you either become attached to, or despise them. It's got all you could ask for. The moral dilemma, the love interest, the loyalty to job or friend, betrayal, revenge - and it works.It's the sort of movie that leaves you stunned at the end with lots of questions about the morality of the police. Well worth watching.

Greywolf907 While scoring the film a 2 I will say that it does however not stink as much as that score would suggest, its just that having sat through this banal attempt at noir (which is best left to the Americans)I cannot rate it any higher while I still have the pathetically unrealistic female lead characters cartoonish unconvincing nut job still in my head.The lead character is also a little...no....a lot on the unbelievable side as are all the characters...in fact...maybe this should have been made as a cartoon.It is cheap, nasty, embarrassingly bad in places, maybe the only redeeming feature is the score.I am sure that the film will have some appeal with 14 year olds who stumble over it but really the poor acting and ridiculous dialogue coupled with the slap inducing 'acting' of the lead female character means this should be out on DVD very soon......Maybe I should rate it 1.

Knarlinggrimbob I saw this last night at the cinema and I'm glad it's out on DVD soon as I'm going to get it and watch it again. I thought for an independent low-budget feature, this was a considerably impressive effort. It may not have the money of Sin City – which is clearly an influence for the graphic novels and the films – but they have worked with whatever they had to achieve great production values.The opening is a massive nod to its graphic novel roots before bringing us into a slightly more recognisable setting but still retaining its noir elements. Scot Simon Phillips is perfectly cast as the everyman-leading man. It's a nice touch that the "name" in the film, Danny Dyer, supports here rather than leads and the predominantly un-famous cast means that we're seeing characters rather than actors laying characters. That said, the two big names, Dyer and David O'Hara, put in often scene-stealing appearances.Larger that-life in some parts, the characters are clearly based on the graphic novel approach where everything can be in your face, and it works. Ashlie Walker impresses as the sexy psycho seeking to usurp Daddy and Terry Stone is a combination of menacing and funny as the Guv'nor's second in command, 'The Fixer'. It's also impressive that we've finally seen a British gangster film with very strong female characters. Rebecca Keatley and Rita Ramnani provide the "good" to Walkers "bad" and achieve convincingly naturalistic performances.There are certainly elements of other gangster and noir films. References to the Big Combo, Reservoir Dogs, Sin City, Pulp Fiction and Get Carter abound, but nothing seems lifted, more occasionally treading were others have already tread (thought this isn't always a bad thing). The plot's MacGuffin – a box with mysterious and never-explained contents – is a film staple seen in Ronin and Pulp Fiction, but this is merely a device to propel events forward. The voice-over is of course classic noir – but it's refreshing to hear it as we see London streets rather than American ones.I can't think of another British film that has even attempted noir in recent years, let alone adapting elements from a graphic novel, and this is a very worthy effort.
