Basing your first film on the true story of a friend who was murdered after crossing the wrong people would seem to be the ideal opportunity for an intelligent portrayal of a tragic event. Sadly, Simon Marshall's debut is content to roll out enough "Sarf Lahndan" clichés to fill several Fast Show sketches.
Clunker lines like ""'E goes around pissin' on people - 'e's asking for a clump!"" will have you snickering, while several excruciating scenes of old "lahds" discussing how things "was diff'nt back in them days" desperately pad out an already stretched story.
