The grimness is layered pretty thick, but handled with authenticity, some welcome flashes of dark humour, and a finely controlled sense of slow-building dread.
The non-linear plotlines also weave together with a satisfying symmetry that never feels too contrived. The year-old Drew has made an extremely assured shift into screenwriting and directing with Ill Manors. His musical persona is also cleverly integrated into the fabric of the movie, with six new Plan B track accompanying flashback montages that serve as succinct biographical summaries for each of the main characters.
Although Drew is currently completing a spin-off album, his film is emphatically not some feature-length promo-video project. The musical sequences have a strong narrative purpose, but are never allowed to swamp the action. The intertwined plotlines also invoke a tradition of multi-strand urban dramas such as Pulp Fiction , Amores Perros and Crash , although the tone here is darker and less forgiving than any of them.
Later this year he makes his leading-man debut alongside Ray Winstone in The Sweeney, a big-screen reboot of a much-loved British TV cop drama from the s. The director of that film is Nick Love , a kind of low-rent Guy Ritchie best known for shallow, glossy crime capers set in London gangland.
Most of his characters have been brutalised by their harsh environment: broken families, care homes, reform schools and prison figure strongly.
Bullying and street crime are ever present threats. Parents, police and authority figures are almost entirely absent from the drama. Social inequality is clearly a force for evil in this hellish urban milieu, but personal responsibility is not forgotten either. Storyline Edit. We are all products of our environment Some environments are just harder to survive in.
Not Rated. Did you know Edit. Trivia Plan B : In the last shot of the film before the credits, Drew is shown to be the one driving the car Aaron is in. Goofs When Ed is arrested he is shown in a cell. The gaoler is shown wearing Her Majesty's Prisons uniform. Later it was stated that he was released without charge; if that was the case he would have only got as far as being held in police custody, which is run by the police rather than the prison service.
Connections References The Way of the Dragon User reviews 70 Review. Top review. I can only assume that people didn't like this film because it was too dark, or it simply wasn't their type of film.
I personally thought it was better than the above said films. Not only was it very well produced and directed, the acting was top notch! I've never seen or noticed Ed Skrein in a film before, and he played his part perfectly - Totally believable, and basically a right nasty piece of work. All the other parts were played excellently too with maybe the exception of Kirby's character It had a great story that keeps you engrossed from beginning to end, it is shocking, harrowing,and some good humor was thrown in too.
After it finished, I text a handful of friends who I knew would like it and told them to watch it asap. ABThomas Oct 12, Details Edit.
