Cartoonized + Bad Dialogue = Bit of a fail


Watched this last night and was taken in by the story and obviously the reality of it all.

Definitely some compelling characters and shady dealings going on!

I was a bit disappointed with the acting and dialogue though. It could've been a really awesome, dark, suspense thriller. But instead everything looks like it was a "take-2" from a Danny Dyer b-movie and the dialogue sounds like it was written by a 13 year old (/essex boy).

Totally get that there's a lot of bad language and a lot of 3rd generation cockneys round that region, but it's no excuse for how bad it's come out here.
