Anyone who manages to get to the end, your patience is that of a saint!!
The acting in this isn't what's at fault here, but the storyline and the plot holes of each character is what is.
A motley crew of phone thieves on mopeds who you can't feel sorry for or even root for due to the catalogue of bad decisions. The lead who is just not ready for this role has presence but not quite enough charisma to pull this off has a lot on his plate but doesn't build enough rapport with the audience to actually give 2 hoots about.
As it's a urban movie, so there's a lot of mandem, innit, bruvs and sub par dialogue which detracts from this movie a lot and doesn't build up any more dimension to this genre and plot holes galore as main characters abruptly dissapear with just a mere mention in the next scene is a little bit jarring.
It's a movie that's thrown together with little to no pacing and this just doesn't give the crescendo that the audience deserves. You neither feel happy nor fulfilled at the end for the main character. Can't work out whether he needed to fail for his bad choices or walk away the winner or beat the antagonists at their own game.
Had the potential to be a a lot better but the director fumbled it and the actors all apart from Zazz the Albanian ringleader who has screen presence. The main actor could do with having a bit more range if he's to hit that A lists. I like urban movies and wanted to really like this movie.
"One day" is still the film to beat in this Genre
