Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

daniel-mannouch CONS: Overly busy plot + cast list, Cheap A.F camera, Crap performances, absalbloodyloute dog of an endingPROS: Good atmosphere, Great locations, Well Written (not acted) Characters, One great set piece (The botched assassination)My conclusion is that it's a descent directorial effort that lacks dramatic weight to fully justify it's running time and the tiring self- importance. OK Brit-Noir.

Theo Robertson After seeing HOOLGANS AT WAR which is in my opinion the worst British film I've seen in a very long time if not ever I thought I might be suffering pangs of conscience . As soon as I wrote my review people who had never worked on that film no siree thought I'd been disingenuous to a degree seeing as the other reviewers who couldn't possibly have worked on that film in any capacity whatsoever guv thought HOOLIGANS AT WAR was more deserving of a nine or ten rating . These same people also highly rated a movie with a mouthful of title LOTTERS , TOOTERS AND SAWN OFF SHOOTERS which suspiciously has an overlapping cast . I came on to this page and found yet another host of people were rating this one while claiming the positive reviews could only have been written by shills . Let's be honest here , these type of reviews are easy to spot , but if there's a chance that any movie could possibly be worse than HOOLIGANS AT WAR this might just be the one To be fair LOOTERS is nothing more than a mediocre British crime flick but to be fair it's nothing less than this also . It does have a student film look about it but to give the director(s) the benefit of the doubt this might be trying to emulate realist cinema . Certainly you can't say it looks like it was filmed on a mobile phone . It's not a glamorous film either and does show the fall out to innocent people that violence brings and once somebody decides to impulsively take that road they find it's very difficult to leave due to other people . The subtext doesn't entirely work as presented here The whole screenplay needed a bit more development especially the insults and one liners which momentarily seem amusing when written down but across as annoying on screen and also shows signs of purple prose . What realthings down is that the actors just aren't good enough and with a better cast it could been a much better film . As it stands it's just mediocre

Stilettto36 This may be the worst film I have ever seen. The acting is appalling, and the script a close second. One of the highlights is the slightly camp Inspector, and his terrible acting Sergeant. As a schoolboy project, it's great, but to be on the shelf in main department stores along side Lock,Stock, and all the other great British gangster films is joke. I agree with some of the comments that the makers should be congratulated on writing and getting the film made, but it is seriously poorly filmed and acted. I struggled through to the end, but only because it was so terrible . We'll as I now need to add another line to post this review , I am just adding these comments. Great artwork and cover, terrible film.

Cheeto Monster I love gangster films but this effort was too amateurish to get beyond 30 mins of viewing. If you were to get your mates out the pub & play pretend gangsters you'd end up with this result - worthless outside your circle of friends and family. What was the point of employing the fat blonde girl , how hard is it to find competent actors ? It's not the low budget that undermines this film it was that it reeked of a vanity project, wooden actors , terrible set direction & not one professional involved in the effort. The only person that (based on 30 mins of viewing) could be given a pass was the script writer , the script itself could of worked in more capable hands.
