Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
MattyGibbs Victim is a small drama set in London. It follows a young man trying to cope with raising his sister alone whilst pursuing a life of crime to help him fund it. The main message of the film unsurprisingly given the title is that everyone is a victim in some way. It does raise some interesting questions though it's message that sometimes crime is the only way doesn't sit easily with me. It's grim setting is perfect for the tone of the film. The script is a bit uneven and the relationship between the two main characters is somewhat underplayed and flimsy. However the story moves along at a quick pace and there is more than enough to keep your interest during it's short running time. The film really succeeds due to a charismatic performance by Ashley Chin as Tyson. The rest of the performances from a largely inexperienced cast are pretty mixed but there are no awful performances. There are a few violent scenes but nothing too bad and there are a few well thought out scenes. Many films fail on there ending but this one did succeed for me, being both unexpected and poignant. Overall, once I got past the first 15 minutes, I did enjoy this film and found it to be a worthwhile effort. Worth watching if you're in the mood for some grim drama.
pfs-smith i watched this film with no expectations - other than an attraction to the gritty London setting and a willingness to give a no-name British film a chance - and no reference points because of the internet's total ignorationis it complex? is it well acted? is it well scripted? well probably notis it worth watching? yesit isn't "wild bill" which i watched for exactly the same reasons and in exactly the same circumstances, but it's certainly worth watching. i didn't feel there was enough back-story to the character "Mia" but the other main characters were utterly believable archetypes (NOT stereotypes) and i applaud it
rubydoo1980 I watched this film and found it very entertaining...... As a young black man who grew up on a council estate I found the film and characters very realistic. I also like the way the film portrayed each characters human side and the way everyones motives were different. This is how it really is and not so black & white when it comes to crime...etc. The main character played a great lead role and I found myself warming to his character.Not everyones acting was fantastic but overall the film worked well and was a lot better than similar films in this genre.Good film!!!!!
ILYRiCaL I watched this movie with low expectations, but i was surprisingly glued to the screen through the entire movie.As for the acting, i did not feel like it could be any better. As for the storyline, its good, and will throw in some surprises for you..Basically a story of a young guy who has had to take care of his little sister since he was 16, because his no-good mother left them. He turned to crime, to be able to take care of his little sister. But as others had been victims to his crimes, so was he. A story of how we can all be victims... Watch it, its much better than most of you think.
