Yawn factory would be more accurate.
Highly average preachy piece of completely none shocking dross. It played like a government endorsed anti hooliganism, anti drugs, anti booze docu-drama. We all know that these things can be (and in the case of hooliganism always is) bad, but we don't need it shoved down our throats in such a patronising shameless manner.
We all know gangster activity is generally a bad thing, but at least in films like Pulp Fiction, Lock Stock or Snatch, there is a decent story line to go with it. This garbage just went from one terrible 'action' scene to another, attempting to shock with its 'horrific' depiction of unbridled violence. Sorry, but I've seen worse violence in TV advertisements, and they were not nearly as righteous and patronising.
The attempt at depth with the lead character, with its spiritual and surreal undertones, were pathetic. By the end I was just hoping all the terribly portrayed characters would get killed, which didn't happen. Just one "twist" that has been seen in a hundred other decent films before this.
Not a good example of british film-making at all. A shame, as a few of the actors have displayed talent in better films. Avoid.

I adopted a lighthearted attitude towards it after the first few minutes and found it strangely entertaining.
How controversial.

the gang culture I can see, but I've seen more realistic violence in soap operas. :D
