In 1995, drug suppliers and career criminals Tony Tucker, Patrick Tate and Craig Rolfe were blasted to death by a shot gun whilst waiting in a Range Rover in Rettendon, Essex.
The film charts their rise to become the most prolific dealers and feared criminals in the south of England. Maintaining the hold on their empire with fear and violence until their untimely death.
There is something comforting about a film starring Tamer Hassan. You know you are going to get swearing, and you know that you are not going to have to concentrate a lot, but you know you will enjoy it in some sort of masochistic way.
And when you get the added bonus of it being about gangsters, and also completely 'true', films like this are a must.
You can tick all the boxes to any brit gangster film released in the last lifetime.
There is a torture scene.
There is a woman crying at a phone box with a kid
There is driving with drugs and a blonde woman
There is a murder at point blank range with a shotgun
and there is a man killed at the beginning, and then him narrating the film, and then at the end, the same scene at the beginning played again.
For those who like these kind of films, it's effortless, made at the Nick Love movie school for geezers, and wears this on it's sleeve.
Not original, not clever, average performances, but worth watching.
