Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

siderite British thugs meet vampires, but not for at least 45 minutes. Then it's still slow. The vampires speak crappy Romanian and have Slav names and act like they are retarded, while the thugs are behaving like pussycats.It's a waste of good acting, if you ask me, with a lot of British actors that I've seen playing heavy roles in cool films now being forced to work on this lame rip off of From Dusk Till Dawn. There is no humour, no real fun, little action and a lot of talking that makes no sense nor brings any meaning to an otherwise bland script.So this is not as much as a failure as it's a boring failure. The little bit of actual horror, the helplessness feeling when the vampires arrive, is lost in a uninspired story.

BA_Harrison Not only does ex-East End wrong 'un turned legit entrepreneur Freddy 'Dead Cert' Frankham (Craig Fairbrass) lose his best friend in a bare-knuckle smack-down with ruthless head-case Yuvesky (Dave Legeno), but he also loses his livelihood, having unwisely staked his business (strip club The Paradise, which somehow boasts one of the best rooftop views in London) in a wager against Romanian gangster Dante Livenko (Billy Murray). More than a little miffed, Freddy and his dodgy mates decide to seek retribution for their pal's demise and take back what was theirs, only to discover that Livenko and his thugs are vampires.Brit gangster/vampire flick Dead Cert hardly explores new ground, essentially being a fairly low-budget Cockney retread of 90s Tarantino/Rodriguez genre mash-up From Dusk Till Dawn. But despite scoring low in the originality department, the film still manages to be reasonably entertaining enough nonsense for its duration thanks to its colourful collection of criminals performed by a veritable Who's Who of affordable London actors. The film's splendid cast includes Dexter Fletcher and Jason Flemyng, counts no less than three ex-Eastenders stars amongst its number (Murray, Fairbrass, and Ricky Grover), and also features the likes of Steven Berkoff, Perry Benson ('Dad' from Mum & Dad), and Danny-bloody-Dyer, making this film more Cockney than a pearly king and queen eating jellied eels in Bethnal Green. Watching these guys do their thing is a blast.Where the film doesn't work quite so well is in pulling off the awkward genre switchover from Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels style gangster shenanigans to vampire flick: the change comes way too late in the day and is all too sudden, leaving viewers no time to adjust to the shift and giving the film little opportunity to make the most of its horror aspect. Other negatives include a lack of nudity from the busty beauties who work in the Paradise (for a strip club, there ain't much skin on show) and Billy Murray not bothering to adopt a Romanian accent (the makers were obviously so pleased to have him on board they wrote an excuse for this into the script). A few juicy stakings and a unique solution to the vampire problem go some way to compensating for these less than perfect elements in the film's finalé.

Simonster A bit like my old school reports, Dead Cert invokes comments such as "Must try harder" or "Can do better" and "Needs to pay more attention." A London gangster-vampire hybrid, which is a fine idea in itself, Dead Cert is a case of ambition running way ahead of ability in, well, just about every department! So badly do the two concepts fail to meld, or work even on their own individual basis, it makes me wonder what kind of script the film has. Did it even have one or were the cast allowed to busk their way through? There's certainly no sign of firm direction on show here.Budgetary constraints are obvious, but time and again talent can cover for this if the core elements are present and correct. But where there is no drama or tension, where the characters are so flat as to be thinner than cardboard, then why should the audience care?

wowthismoviesucks-852-614515 I'm reposting this after some-one connected to the film tried to have it deleted. It breaks no IMDb rules. I will not be censored from expressing an honest opinion.This movie is absolutely terrible. It is a lazy cross between a cheap cockney criminal story and a very cheap vampire story. Imagine if From Dusk Till Dawn had been filmed in a weekend on a camera in Bermondsay..yes it really is that bad, Instead of International stars like George Clooney you have an ex soap actor who made a few low budget horror films years ago ( or two if you count Fairbrass) and Steven Berkoff, Berkoff was big in the 80s when the States liked to cast English actors as the bad guy in everything but we got wise. The Brits rate Berkoff for some reason but he plays every part exactly the same: strutting about and shouting like Hitler. Berkoff is down a long way from Beverley Hills Cop to be starring in crap like this.All of this could be forgiven if the action was even half decent. I've always heard that the English had the best stunt men in the world. Perhaps this was too cheap to have a proper stunt man because the action is like something out of a school play.Boring.I didn't pay to watch this and you shouldn't either.
