i watched the film last night and thought it was pretty good. the ending is a bit predictable.
but some of the performances are brilliant for debuts.
the film is a brilliant portrayal of how I imagine Liverpool gangster life to be, you can believe it because they are real people transferring real life to screen. the camera shots of the kids in the streets on bikes are a definitive art-form, sucker punching a secret message, that these gangsters have come from nothing.
the start scene sent a shiver down my spine, when you see the two gangsters ballyed up running round the side of the house to jump on the drug dealer.
but the shooting scene at the cathedral, when Franny has just bit half of that mancs face off seems a little phony. the fight is great, when Franny goes phsyco it seems really sick and real, but when Sculley and someone else are running back to the car shooting it just made me laugh as it looked really fake.
everyones shooting and no-one gets shot, they sound like air guns or summat.
but all in all i thought it was a decent film cant understand why Franny's sat in his house being paranoid, with swords, snorting coke, watching the camera on his house, is it because he has been seen with john or maybe i missed something, could someone enlighten me?
