The Guvnors (2014)
Exactly what I expected
I had little doubts as to what a film called Guvnors would be like, and I was not wrong.
Poor acting, with the exception of the weird blonde kid. I dunno if it was just me, but seemed to have the worst extra/background acting I've ever seen.
Poor plot, with a totally pointless twist that had no bearing on the story whatsoever. Dunno if i missed it or not (dont care), but something happened to a bloke called Charlie? Can't recall him being introduced, or killed for that matter.
Full of cheesy clichés about your football hooligans and hood rats.
Nice multiracial PC cast so as not to objectify any groups. (that being said, only one Sikh bro at the awful "climactic" final showdown repping the Asians)
Awful, awful ending.
...
I'm strongly of the belief that watching the audition tapes for people trying to star in this film would make for much better viewing.
Too summarise. If you're after a S**t British Gangster film, and I use the term gangster lightly, this is spot on for you. It makes Football Factory seem like the Godfarther... Part III
