Really Surprised!

Best movie of this year hands down!

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

I've decided, for my sins, to watch a few of these low budget gangster films, I'm not proud of this decision but there you go. I've seen Full English Breakfast and last week I watched Geezers, Gangsters and Gamblers. Tonight it was Six Bend Trap a.k.a. Thugs, Mugs and Dogs (doesn't work, should've been Dougs). Now, I heard that The Room is meant to be the best worst movie of all time, but that's because although it's bad it's compellingly so. This is just bad. Bad. Bad. There's meant to be a plot about a greyhound race, some deeds to a bit of concrete where there's some oil or something, a wedding band, blah, blah, blah... It makes no difference what it's about, it's someone's poorly conceived vanity project, there is no sense to it, it's not even mildly amusing or clever. It seems that these low budget films are just retirement homes for actors whose careers have nosedived, this one has the omnipresent Dave Courtney playing a plastic gangster (not a stretch for him really), along with that bloke Paul Usher who used to be in Brookside (and actually this rubbish is far beneath him) and Lisa 'You've Been Framed and Mandy Dingle' Riley. Badly edited. Badly written. Bad soundtrack. Bad acting. Bad dancing. Bad characters. Goes on for hours. Relentless. Boring. Dreadful. I could go on. You know, you're better spending your evening trimming your nose hair or cleaning the oven. Everyone involved should be embarrassed. I'm embarrassed to have watched it.

What absolute rubbish, a waste of video, wooden acting, wooden everything. I cannot believe someone would actually make this rubbish.It is one of the worst movies, with the worst acting and the worst storyline you could ever have the misfortune to come across.The other reviews tried to compare it with some other well known movies, sadly this movie seems like it was put together by a 5 year old, what a terrible script, what terrible acting, what a terrible story, what a terrible waste of video! Even if you have nothing better to do, you will not need to waste your time watching this rubbish.What surprises me, is how anyone even thinks that this kind of rubbish is going to be popular! Can you imagine paying good money to make this rubbish?

I do not usually bother reviewing movies....judging by personal taste is always fraught with danger....but this one.....WOW....terrible acting, soundtrack, production, direction....even the "live" band sequences at various venues have fading out recorded music.....my 4 year old son could mime better than the "Dan T's Inferno" members (pay particular attention to the drummer, who ain't NO drummer)....a script that sees itself as some type of cross between Snatch/Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels/Layer Cake/Stormy Monday/Sexy Beast and Cops and Watches (there is a Chaplinesque chase sequence thrown in....For what reason? I don't know!!) and fails to deliver on ALL counts (even on the Chaplin slapstick).....the best actor in the whole damn thing is Smoggie Dog (the greyhound)and that's probably because he does not have a speaking part......every single actor and even the background extras (watch for them to try and get their heads on a panning camera angle for as long as possible!)is trite, wooden, un-natural, and they would all be well advised to never use this crock of cr*p as a job reference.....the movie's ending leaves the option of future sequels.....I have one request Mr.McCarthy....PLEASE DON'T,PLEEEEEEEEESE

I had no idea i would rate this movie as high as i would, but that does not mean i am wrong at all. An excellent movie that has, unfortunately, more to do with gritty life in the North East of England than it has to do with Greyhound racing (the reason i would watch it). Some might say Courtney is not the best actor int he world, which is undoubtedly true, but he pulls it off in this movie and the cast surrounding him do a good job as well. Do not forget that most of the cast are just locals and have no special "powers" when it comes to acting, but that makes the movie all the more appealing. It comes close to the heart being a former Glaswegian and knowing some about the hard knocks of life.Again, pleasantly surprised and worth a look
