Thought this was one of the best gangster films ive seen in awhile

I really don't understand why there is so much hate on this film , I mean each to his own, fair enough it may not be your cup of tea but I think it's really good. The true story alone is interesting enough and this is just well made, very enjoyable to watch and you get a real taste of the kind of lives the characters were living, I have not read the book yet and I do not expect this film to be a 100% accurate and neither do I expect the book, films of true events rarely are and there are different books with different views on the truth to complicate things further, but overall I thought this was a great movie. I would say one of the best british gangster films I have seen in awhile.

Well acted, everyone played their roles perfectly. You could really picture Tony Tucker, Pat Tate and Craig Rolfe actually being like that in real life. Carlton Leech seemed pretty spot on as well, I mean some of his lines did seem a bit cheesy but he also had some great lines, "He looks like the *beep* honey monster", but overall he was played well, especially with the steroid side, you can see the negative effects. I also love the pill scene, that makes me laugh every time.
Fight scenes were entertaining and well done, not too Hollywood and not too fake looking either, nice and gritty.
Soundtrack matched the feel of the film well, especially the "break-down" towards the end. Well directed and just entertaining and interesting.


Lots of people saying only low lifes can enjoy this or you to be a psychopath to enjoy this movie is a bit judgemental really.

People complaining about too much violence in the film? It's about the criminal underworld, gangsters and hooligans, what did you expect Bridget Jones Diary? I don't think they over used the violence, every bit ties in within the story and building up the characters. What do you believe in real life Pat Tate, Tony Tucker and Carlton Leech just had pillow fights? ICF were known tickling each other? Of course there is going to be a lot of violence, that's the life they lived.
