Yep. Crappy film about some gangster loser who would be better of being sterilized and put behind bars for all time. Society don't need trash like this and their like. Let them kill eachother. They do the whole world a favour. That the main character actually gotten to propagate and set children to the world is sickening. How *beep* up will his kids be when they got this loser for a father? All he know is violence, drugs and war. He know nothing about compassion, love, mercy and all the other good qualities humanity possess. People like this bring us all down to a more primitive level. Ironically he probably look at himself like a good guy, likeable and friendly. Sociopaths do that. They don't know themselfes how screwed up their thinking is.
Anyway, this film ain't worth it, for so many reason. The violence is more brutal than Fight Club, which actually was a good film, and more pointless than the violence in Hostel. That it actually is based on some true events even make it more pointless. Why some obscure film maker felt the need to glorify some idiots is just as moronic as this movie was.
(wow..that became a longer rant than planned. Oh well!)

I enjoyed the film, the fact that is based on a true story adds to the film.
Real life is often used to make films and it doesnt glorify it, if you felt it did then you are the one with the problem. How can you watch that film and think they were glamorous? it portrayed a seedy, violent life and one that i am happy to only ever see on film.
To me these true storys made into films, like goodfellas for example, usually do the exact opposite of glorify the life. Do you really think a few years of money and underworld fame is worth a shotgun to the head? Would you like that life? Glorified? Talk about missing the point of gangster movies! They are warnings about this way of life.
Suppose you think Saving private ryan glorifies war?

There's a difference between making a 'good' film about a real life story and a 'bad' film based on a true story. This is a bad film, full stop.
I agree with the initial poster - this film was nothing short of a travesty. Cliched to the hilt, devoid of any real depth, lacking in decent performances, disjointed... The last 30 minutes feel like they were tacked on as an after-thought to be honest. What staggers me is who the heck finances all this stuff? It's the like the film funding councils in the UK have one criteria;
"Is it a gangster film?"
"Yes."
"Here's your money."
God bless the UK film industry, shallow beyond compare.

> Absolutely agree. And at the end when he was grieving: seriously? Who the hell were those guys anyway?
Disjointed rubbish.
