First it must be said that the acting is not the best in the world and the plot is a little ropey at times. However, i somehow found myself drawn to this story and I did empathise with the characters involved even though I could never understand their situation.
To call this a London Gangster Movie would be unfair. It is not trying to be that at all, as It is not trying to portray the lives of gangs in a glorified way, like so many gangster films do. The film focuses on the lives of a number of Sri Lankan young people who are part of a gang. They are trying to come to terms with their culture and the British culture. The film makes quite a reasonable attempt at exploring the issues that this population in the UK face. Yes badly acted on many occasions but I found the film an interesting look into a side of Britain that I knew nothing about.
