Following in the footsteps of a Great British love affair with heist and gangster movie, Hackney Finest hits the bullseye.
The grim story is seasoned by just the right amount of (dark) humour. In this regard, it definitely echoes some of Guy Richie or Tarantino's moments of brilliance.
The characters are, if not lovable, definitely charismatic. The eastern European gangsters are just as hilarious as they are scary.
Hackney Finest is not trying to revolutionise the genre: it embraces it, and definitely delivers.
Another side thing I liked, especially in regards to the current attitude of "spoiling trailers", is that Hackney's Finest trailer stays true to the spirit of film without giving away the very best bits. Refreshing
