This is the worst film i've ever seen

While I sympathise with the characters' plight of taking the law into their hand after feeling disillusioned living under Blair's Britain, I have to say this is the worst film ever made

Shoddy camerwork, terrible plot holes throughout, embarrasingly poor script, weak acting performances, awful sound editing, ridiculous character development etc.

There was so many parts in this film that just made it unbelievable - like the Outlaws being able to happily kill a group of drug dealers who hadn't done anything to them personally, yet when it comes to executing the gangster (who was also a convicted paedophile for no reason lmao) who killed the black barrister's wife n kid - they can't do it?

And Sean Bean randomly killing the security guard for no reason other than a snide comment made about his wife??? And none of the others even try and stop him?

There's so much more thats ridiculous about this film but I could go on all day. I reccomend this for people to watch but only cause it is hilariously bad so you'll get a laugh out of it

It'a always funny when people say a film is the worst film ever made when it's obviously not. The film wasn't great by any means but 'worst film ever made' just makes you sound like Comic Book Guy.

Correct me if I'm wrong (I saw this movie when it first came out and that's the only time I've seen it), but was it the Black guy who couldn't kill him? If it was, then that's how his character was. He was a Judge or something, and he was always backing down from things, like when he was behind the tree near the end he put his hands up and he got shot anyway. That's just because he didn't want to get in as much trouble as the others were in.

Also, Danny Dyer shoots him at the end (The gangster).

"And Sean Bean randomly killing the security guard for no reason other than a snide comment made about his wife??? And none of the others even try and stop him?"

Remember the security guard was jacking off to Sean's wife and her lover. He just got so tired of him that he killed him, and noone liked him anyway.

It's like that because they aren't meant to be 'Hard Men', they are normal people who have abided by the law for their whole lives, and one day a guy comes along and says "Let's make a gang and go and kill people". It's easy said than done.

It's not the worst film ever, you just need to understand it more. I think you watched this film for some action, and you didn't get any, because it's not an action film. That's why you're angry.

Yep....it's garbage on toast

Its a sweet film, my guess is it didn't have a huge budget, but they made an entertaining film with what they had. I love the film colouring makes it much more British and less Hollywood - well done all involved.
I think all the main characters did a great job, have seen 3 times now and enjoyed every time !

Just watched this again for the second time and enjoyed it more than the first. Love it when Lennie James goes to get a round in and things turn sour and he gets called a black c and Sean Bean goes to sort it out. Crap like that always happens in bars like that. To many idiots!

wow, why is there a worst film or movie ive ever seen in every forum? cuz people want to hate *beep* if you lived in england and knew what the chavs are like there youd totally understand it.

and remember, in the end the bad got killed. so lennie james,(cedric munroe) was avenged.

sean bean, bob hoskins and lennie james were great. ive loved james since i saw him in snatch, he was one of the best parts of that movie, he and his cohorts. i was sorry that they took the fall though

very good movie if you understand whats happening in england. but heck, look at whats happening in our countries.

you should read this thread

canadians and americans have posted we have the same crap here, and the court systems dont work. we should all know that.

trivia: Nick Love based the screenplay on newspaper stories and anecdotes he's been told by people all over the UK. The narrative is fictional, but many of the incidents portrayed are based on fact.

Quotes bob hosking ie Walter Lewis: Most Police couldn't lie in bed straight.

and we all know thats true. there are some good ones. but you never know which ones they are til you find out the truth about them

i've found one good one in my town. the rest all seem to hang out with people with rap sheets longer than your arm for

Dont forget that the guy who refuses to kill the paedo who murdered his family in cold blood is the same one who happily slaughters a whole bunch of police officers without so much as a second thought later on.
